Jul 18, 2026
08:00 PM
Join the National Park Service for this fantastic, fun filled discovery adventure at Sibley Pond. We will briefly begin our discovery adventure by looking for the amazing and wonderful creatures living in the waters of Sibley Pond. Using nets we will search for dragonfly nymphs, tadpoles, minnows, newts, and scuds! After the twilight begins to fade, we will take a safari walk around Sibley Pond looking for all of the creatures that fly, swim , or crawl. We will focus on the wonderful diversity of frogs that might be out and about. We will identify these amphibians by their appearance and by their vocalizations. Heat and humidity will determine if and how many frogs we might encounter. We will view the wildlife only from a safe distance and always respect the wildlife. This is a terrific and very fun activity. Please join us. This is a casual and informal activity and you may come and go as you please.Location: 3670 Paper Mill Road, Marietta, Georgia 30067.
