There is an entire world just beyond what can be seen with the naked eye. Join us at Sailor's Creek as we explore the wildlife of our region from an entirely new perspective.

This program is in the form of an exhibit available all day at no set schedule. You may explore it by yourself or with the guidance of interpretive staff. The content of the exhibit covers the basics of microscopy and gives guests a selection of subjects to research. Brief ranger-guided forays will also be offered to curious visitors who would like to collect their own subjects and learn about foraging, from both a legal and ethical standpoint, in the state of Virginia.
