Our next Senior Science will make a stamp on a memorable morning.

We will explore the traditional Japanese art form of gyotaku, or fish printing, to craft take-home creations. Brianna Carm, Chief Ranger of Visitor Experience at Twin Lakes State Park, will open the event with a discussion that dives into the importance of protecting our local rivers, waterways and environment. Then we’ll start the fish printing—using detailed silicone molds, not actual fish.

Seats in this experience are limited. Register today to start your morning with an engaging event surrounded by your peers.
