Episode Details

Families flocked to the Avon Nature Study Area in Rochester Hills for a hands-on prairie adventure, sweeping tall grass with nets to catch butterflies, moths, praying mantises, and beetles. Once overrun by invasive weeds, this restored prairie now thrives with native plants that prevent erosion, support pollinators, and improve water quality in nearby Avon Creek. Kids were especially thrilled—curious, excited, and eager to identify their finds—making it a perfect blend of education and outdoor fun. It’s a community win: healing ecosystems while sparking wonder in the next generation.
