About this event

Holiday • Halloween

Ever wonder why your jack-o-lanterns start to droop after Halloween? Why does your compost pile smell so bad? What happens to all of the fall leaves after they land on the ground? Join IslandWood, in partnership with King County, as we dig up the dirt on decomposition. We’ll learn about the tiny critters who make the world go round by processing the nutrients in our ponds, our soils, and even our own poop! There will be crafts, soil and water investigations, and halloween-y fun galore. Costumes encouraged!

Adult participation is expected. ​We want families to learn and work together! Although this event is recommended for ​families with youth ages 6-12, we are open to all ages. Please make a decision about your child's ability to participate based on the following information: this event may involve collecting macroinvertebrate samples using nets and trowels, exploring near water and off trail, crafting with scissors and hot glue, and using microscopes.

This event involves both indoor and outdoor activities, so please come prepared for potential precipitation (rain jackets, umbrellas, shoes that are comfortable to walk in both indoors and outdoors, etc.). Costumes are encouraged!
