## About

Once a month Havenwoods staff feed the nature center's resident animals, mostly Wisconsin reptiles and amphibians, and visitors can watch a turtle eat or see a snake up close as the animals get their lunch. The animals can be seen any time the nature center is open, but feeding day is the chance to see them active. Held rain or shine.
