Events

Participate in our seasonal celebration by creating a Scarecrow to lurk about in the Nature Center. Frightening and friendly, silly and serious – have your non-profit group, club, classroom or troop create something special for Lichterman visitors to enjoy! Being a part of this fun event is easy: we provide the framework for the Scarecrow and you provide the creativity. Space is limited, so don’t delay! Applications accepted now.

Prizes will be awarded for most popular, best STEAM Scarecrow, greenest, most creative, and best critter scarecrows. 

Scarecrow building seminar Sept. 11. Judging is Sept. 30th. Scarecrows will be on display Oct. 1 - Nov. 19.

Walk on the wild side this summer at Camp Lichterman

Fly over to Nature Explorers Camps this summer to enjoy nature walks, live animal encounters, STEM projects, nature games and natural crafts to satisfy the nature and outdoor loving camper.  Use nets to catch butterflies, learn about native plants and animals, pretend you are a black bear living in the woods, and grow your own Earth baby during these fun-filled camps.  Enjoy the great outdoors this summer right in the heart of Memphis at Lichterman Nature Center.
