Event Details

Rookery Bay’s popular after-hours program “Science Nite” is back with a series of three events. The first one focuses on single-use plastic in the environment, food chain and in people and wildlife. What are the implications for our coastal region, Florida’s wildlife and for our personal health? Jean Waller from the League of Women Voters Plastics Task Force presents and answers these questions. She will also provide practical ways to move away from single-use plastics recognizing that small personal changes can have a huge impact on our community.

Rookery Bay’s Science Nites serve up an interesting mix of nature, wildlife and environmental topics suitable for all ages. Science Nites also includes a scavenger answer hunt to win prizes, food and drinks as well as time for mingling with fellow participants amongst interactive displays, aquaria and an art exhibit in the Rookery Bay Environmental Learning Center.
