NATIVE EXOTIC INVASIVE

Critter Cabinets
Reminiscent of Trap-
per Nelson’s Zoo, this
showcase of biodiversity
in the watershed features
terrariums housing spi-
ders, frogs and colorful
snakes, as well as display
cases and items to
touch and study. The six
aquaria will have rotating
live exhibits of fish, rep-
tiles, insects, and am-
phibians. Each with an
example of a native, a
non-native, and an inva-
sive species.
These critters will
help visitors to under-
stand the impact that ex-
otic and invasive species
have on our natural envi-
ronment and the benefits
of native species.
