EVENTS & ACTIVITIES
2022 SCHEDULE
Our natural history events and activities for the 2022 season begin on May 27!
DISCOVERY WALKS
Special Earth Day Hike:
Rather enjoy the outdoors on foot? Join Wallowology naturalist, Judy Swank, for a hike up the East Moraine. Learn about local ecology while you enjoy a two-hour hike at a family-friendly pace.
Meet at the roadside trailhead on Friday April 22 between mile markers 4 & 5 on the Wallowa Lake Highway (used to be "green gate").
OUTINGS
Special Wallowology Outings:
Every season, Wallowology invites guests to spend a day experiencing the wild, living ecosystems of our region with our Systems Ecologist, David Mildrexler. Be ready to pack a lunch and hit the trail to participate in one of these full day adventures that allow time for exploration and learning about regional science and current issues.
CODE GREEN / EDUCATION
C.O.D.E. Green (Children Outdoors Discovering & Exploring) alternates between guided science, online activities and explorative play in and outside of the Discovery Center. Adult supervision required in the center.
PRESENTATIONS
Schedule: See Calendar
Wallowology invites regional scientists to share their knowledge. Once or twice a month, we fill our evening exhibit hall with chairs, cookies, slides, and dozens of guests. From slide shows to natural history, visitors can expect knowledgeable speakers on pertinent local topics in a wide range of sciences. Due to social distancing regulations, we are suspending our presentations until further notice.
SPECIAL EVENTS
Schedule: See Calendar
If an event won’t fit in an evening talk, or is more structured than a walk, it's a special event. It might be a longer hike, a party, a workshop, a school visit or maybe an off-site tour. We’ve teamed up with groups of all types: schools, land trusts, astronomy clubs, farms, hiking clubs, research groups. We advertise the events, and often help lead them.
