Bug Day!
Join us for Ford Nature Center's Bug Day 2025! There will be live bug exhibits, including "The BugMan", Mark Berman, from Columbus, Ohio; Katie Shipka with a butterfly exhibit, and Don Kovach, the local "Bee-Manager." Other fun activities will include gentle and respectful bug-catching and release, bug crafts, a bug tattoo station, a special Pop-Up Library visit from the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County, and the return of the "Bad Bug" Forest Walk. Children who complete all of the Bug Day activities will earn a "Masters of Bugology" certificate. Make plans to attend and get your fill of some creepy-crawlies! Parking at Ford Nature Center is limited, but there will also be parking that requires a short hike to the nature center at Pioneer Pavilion and Slippery Rock Pavilion. Those who park at Slippery Rock Pavilion will have an special opportunity to take a "Pollinator Promenade" through the forest to get to Ford Nature Center. Snacks, a framed photo at our Bug-themed photo booth, and trolley rides will be available for purchase (cash only). No registration required. FREESaturday, July 19, 11 am-3 pm
