Refuge Rocks – Call of the Wild!

Refuge Rocks: Call of the Wild

Refuge Rocks Free programs for Kids at Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge – Lake Texoma

Even though animals don’t speak like us, they still communicate with each other using their own language. They use many clever and creative ways to communicate with each other, from head-turning howls to jaw-dropping dances! For many animals, communicating is as important to their life chances as finding food and water. This program will explore the variety of innovative ways animals “talk” to each other. We’ll have a howling good time learning about animal communication with a short lesson, some fun games and activities, as well as a fun craft! Come join us on November 16 for a free class for youth ages 5-10.
Free and open to the public, registration is required. Register at: https://friendsofhagerman.com/event-5672979/Registration.

Refuge Rocks Free Youth Program – Under the Prairie Sky at Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge on Lake Texoma

Did you know that the prairie once covered almost half of the United States? Travelers 200 years ago called it a “sea of grass” because the tall prairie grasses and wildflowers swayed in the breeze like the waves on the ocean. They said that you could see for miles in all directions. Stories were passed around that the grass was so tall in some places that it brushed their legs as they rode on their horses! Come out to the refuge on Saturday, July 19 and learn about our beautiful American prairie through the storytelling of an old Caddo Native American tale, crafts, a prairie investigation activity on the refuge and a fun Buffalo Stomp activity! Bring the kids out to Hagerman for this free program for ages 5-10. Registration Required. Visit the Friends of Hagerman website to register:
