Filtering Nature’s Way: Join us for a hands-on water filtration program where participants will learn how charcoal, sand, and rock work together to filter water. Attendees will explore the basic principles of natural filtration and the role each material plays in improving water quality. The program concludes with participants building their own simple water filtration unit. Bring a sock and meet at the visitor’s center back deck.
