Real Birds Eat Meat
Birds of prey are our specialty at Carrie Murray Nature Center. The Center is home to owls, hawks, eagles, vultures, ravens, and more! This program allows an up close and personal look at our injured or orphaned, non-releasable raptors. Participants will leave with a better appreciation of how these majestic birds positively affect the environment and what people can do to help keep them safe.
Insects Alive
Have you ever wondered how an insect is different from a spider, or how large a hissing cockroach can get? Participants will get a hands-on experience with our live insect collection! Our Naturalist/Entomologist will explain everything you ever wanted to know about bugs!
Close Encounters of a Scaly Kind
Carrie Murray Nature Center is home to a variety of reptiles. This program allows an up close and personal look at some of our resident reptiles and their close relatives. Why do some lizards make great pets and some DON’T? Which ones can you find in Maryland? This program will answer these questions and more!
Policies and Procedures:
Carrie Murray Nature Center offers educational programming year-round.
After receiving your completed reservation form, we will reserve your program date and time and send you confirmation. The total is due the day of your program. We offer a limited number of programs during the summer due to our 6-week summer camp, so please call to verify availability.
All of our programs start no earlier than 10:00am. If there is a problem with available times, we are happy to work with you and your schedule.
Due to the nature of our programs, we ask that you mention any special needs or requests you may have prior to your program so that we can make the necessary accommodations and create the best possible experience.
The Center has the right to refuse any group and to cancel any reservations. Naturalists have the right to dismiss groups that are out of control or mistreating our animals, property, or instructors. We request that all cell phones and electronic devices be turned off during programming.
Teachers and/or chaperons must remain with the group at all times. We need and appreciate your help supervising your group. This will allow our naturalists to create the best possible learning experience and ensure the safety of your group and our animals.
Please notify the Center within one week if you need to cancel a program for any reason. We will do our best to work with you and reschedule your program.
