VITAL NATURE CONNECTIONS: INSPIRATION FROM NATURE


Join a naturalist and Dr. Lara Roketenetz from The University of Akron for a hands-on night of games, microscopes and more to discover one of the most ground-breaking and hopeful fields of science: biomimicry. By copy-catting the natural world, humans are learning to defy gravity, travel at high speeds and even regenerate brain cells! Discover what we’ve learned and what we’ve yet to uncover from our greatest teacher: Mother Nature. Enter the park off Ira Road and follow signs past the main parking lot to the Field Station. Bath Nature Preserve: 4240 Ira Road Bath, OH 44333
