Full! Please contact us at dnr.entice@illinois.gov to be added to the Waitlist! Have you ever wondered what it would be like to float down the Mississippi River on a barge? Well, now is your chance! Join us as Almost Full! ENTICE takes on the mighty Mississippi aboard the Living Lands and Waters floating river barge, tied up, of course. Discover the amazing Mississippi River ecosystem and how animals interact with the river. Explore the fish, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and invertebrates that call this river home during the summer months. Weather permitting, take a boat ride to look the animals up close while learning about the Living Lands and Waters river clean-up. Supplemental classroom resources will be provided. Professional Development Hours are available. Sponsored by the IDNR, this workshop is part of the ENTICE (Environment and Nature Training Institute for Conservation Education) program.
