The event will be modeled after the expo held in February of 2024, in which more than two dozen local agencies, associations and other groups that partner in the Vernal School effort provided hands-on educational booths at the preserve throughout the day for people to engage with at their own pace.
“A year ago, this event was a massive success, with families getting to interact with everything from drones to virtual reality to reptiles,” said Middle Susquehanna Riverkeeper John Zaktansky. “Nature offers the perfect place to explore and spark creative problem solving in students of all ages, and the groups coming to this event will once again capture the essence of that in the experiments, games, crafts and other activities offered all over the educational center during the expo.”
The event will be held free of charge, but donations are encouraged to help cover costs. A food stand will be available with different options available for purchase.
