Resilient Earth, Resilient Communities Exhibit

A traveling exhibit on Earth system science!

The Wynn Nature Center is hosting a traveling earth science exhibit from the National Science Foundation's National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR).

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 get outside explore how communities and scientists alike contribute to a wealth of knowledge about our planet.
