The Wynn Nature Center is hosting a traveling earth science exhibit from the National Science Foundation's National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR). Learn how, through careful environmental observation, we gather vital information that helps us prepare for the future and build stronger, more resilient communities. The exhibit will be a combination of informational panels and interactive elements displayed in the Carl E. Wynn Visitor Center. The exhibit will be on display from July 12th through August 30th, when it will get packed up and sent to its next stop on the tour of Alaska! Come interact with the exhibit and explore how communities and scientists alike contribute to a wealth of knowledge about our planet.
