August 4: Alabama Raptors Louise Grider of Sweetgum Hollow Wildlife Center out of New Brockton will bring hawks and other raptors native to this region. These beautiful birds are nonreleasable, rehabilitated birds that have been given a new purpose in life as education birds. Their feeding, hunting and nesting habits will be discussed and you will have the opportunity to see these fabulous creatures up close.



August 11: Gems and Minerals Arnie and JoAn Lambert from the Dothan Gem and Mineral Club will introduce park visitors to mineral and gem identification. The Lamberts are rock hounds with an impressive collection of gems and minerals, including fluorescent minerals that glow in the dark. This is a hands-on presentation you won’t want to miss.



August 18: Herbs 101 If you have ever wanted to learn to grow and use fresh herbs, this workshop is for you. Join Wiregrass Master Gardener, Linda Westphal as she shows you ways to use fresh herbs that can be grown in your own garden. Some of the herbs she will discuss include parsley, paisley, Mexican tarragon and rosemary.



August 25: Dog Training Basics Our four legged furry friends will be the star of this program as local canine specialist Renee Jones-Lewis, along with her canine teaching assistant, shows visitors the correct way to interact with dogs. Park visitors will also learn training tips they can easily take home and use with their own family pets.
