One of the long-standing education programs presented by FOLNC is Mother Nature Reads. Each Saturday morning at ten, children of all ages join Mother Nature's representative in the Nature Center's library area. They hear a story, learn 'cool facts' about the animal of the month and make something to take home. Sometimes the animal of the month is a resident of the center and is used in a short interpretative program. Other times, the kids see and handle feathers, wings, egg replicas, track casts, scat replicas and furs.
