Tadpole Transformations

It’s that exciting time of the year again when our ponds fill to the brim with squirming tadpoles!
Join Riverbend’s Educators for this fascinating annual rite of spring that happens right here at Riverbend. Learn about the lifecycle of the amphibians that live at the Preserve and see the tadpoles in action. This fun event is open to individuals and to families with children of all ages.
Guests will explore the preserve and visit activity stations to learn all about frogs. Depending on the weather and other natural factors, we may see a lot of tadpoles or none at all, but there will be lots to enjoy at Riverbend. Guests are encouraged to visit at their own pace and stay as long as they wish.
This event is rain or shine so please dress for the weather!
This is a Riverbend PAY WHAT YOU WISH Event:
The true cost to Riverbend to offer this educational event to the public is $10 per person. We recognize that for some families this is unaffordable. Therefore, we invite you to choose the price you wish to pay for this event. In doing so, you help make environmental education accessible to ALL children, regardless of their family’s financial situation.
