## About

A free drop-in table at Black Hill Discovery Center where a naturalist lets visitors see and touch the furs of animals that live in Montgomery County backyards and woods. Children can compare textures, and learn about deer and other wildlife anatomy with hands-on examples. Stop by any time in the two-hour window; it works for all ages and pairs well with a walk around Little Seneca Lake.
