Voices of Nature
Discover the stories nature has to tell
Join us for the Chico Creek Nature Center’s Voices of Nature Series — a monthly adventure where curiosity comes alive! Each session spotlights a fascinating theme — from turtles and birds to snakes, frogs, and field research — brought to life by passionate guest speakers and our Animal Care Naturalists.
Meet our animal ambassadors, enjoy engaging talks and live demonstrations, and experience a few surprise moments along the way. Participants are even encouraged to dress up for each theme — whether it’s a birder’s binoculars or a frog-green hoodie.
Held toward the end of each month on Sundays (with the exception of October, when we celebrate Halloween with a special Saturday program), this lively, all-ages series blends science, storytelling, and community connection while celebrating the incredible voices of the natural world.
Registration Details: Preregistration is required for all Voices of Nature events. Space is limited, and every individual attending — including adults and children — must be registered and pay the program fee. Reserve your spot early to ensure your place in each month’s adventure!
