Prospect Park Audubon Center Nature Programs

There is a whole woodland of wildlife to be discovered in Prospect Park in Brooklyn, and the park’s Audubon Center has increased its Pop-Up Audubon programs, weekends from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., to include two tents with themed nature investigations in different parts of the park. At the Zucker Natural Exploration Area, whose September theme is “Radical Raptors,” children can learn about migrating birds of prey, including an opportunity to dissect an owl pellet; at the tent in the Nethermead, whose theme is “Climate Clues,” they can explore how environmental change affects the park’s ecosystems. Both tents feature nature walks and opportunities to help the environment. At the Audubon Center itself on Labor Day, from noon to 4 p.m., the fun includes nature games, a science project and an animal encounter.
