DISCOVERY WALKS
We will lead exploratory walks on a reservation basis for your private group.
If you are interested in a particular area we will do our best to find the right person to lead you.
Please let us know as far in advance as possible!
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
At Wallowology, we encourage all of our guests to explore, play and create with a child-like energy and curiosity. Our C.O.D.E. Green program (Children Outdoors Discovering & Exploring) supports interactive exhibits and play areas in the center when open, hosts family-focused learning events, and provides teachers and families with natural science resources, providing opportunities for children and their families to discover and explore all that nature has to offer!
Adult supervision is required in the center.
PRESENTATIONS
Schedule: See Calendar
This season Wallowology is co-sponsoring the Thursday Evening Speaker Series at Wallowa Lake Lodge. We’ve invited regional scientists, artists and historians to share their knowledge. Visitors can expect knowledgeable speakers on a wide range of pertinent local topics from 7pm-8pm almost every Thursday evening throughout the summer.
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.
