We’re Wild about the Wetlands, are You?

Discovery Science Center Event Promotes Learning and Fun

Kids of all ages are invited to visit the Irvine Ranch Water District San Joaquin Marsh on Saturday, April 30 for the Discovery Science Center annual Wild about the Wetlands event.  Activities will be offered from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

“Wild About the Wetlands provides not only a fun activity for families, but will also offer a great opportunity to learn more about the environment and water,” said IRWD General Manager Paul Jones.  “We’re proud to partner with Discovery Science Center once again this year.”

High school volunteers will teach children about water and resources through interactive games and demonstrations. During the day, children will be able to:

• Learn about keeping waterways clean and free from pollution with a landscape and coastline model
• Learn about the water cycle by making a water cycle headband
• Make a biodegradable seed pot and plant a California Friendly flower seed in it, and
• Play a wetland preservation game.
