Covered in protective scales, the pangolin is one of nature’s most fascinating creatures. 🛡️ It often walks on its hind legs, balancing with its tail while carrying food in its front claws. When threatened, it curls into a tight armored ball. Sadly, pangolins are the world’s most trafficked mammals, yet also among the most gentle and shy. 💚

Water dragons

Leafy sea dragons are spectacular marine creatures closely related to seahorses. With delicate, leaf-like fins, they perfectly mimic drifting seaweed, giving them one of nature’s best camouflage abilities. Found off the southern and western coasts of Australia, these dragons rely on disguise rather than speed to avoid predators. Their mesmerizing appearance makes them both rare and highly sought after by divers and photographers.🤯

Youth and innovation

A student at the University of Surrey in the UK has designed a robot fish that swims through water and collects microplastics, helping clean polluted rivers and oceans. The robot is lightweight, fast, and can operate autonomously in real-world environments.

Named "Gillbert," the robot fish uses a fine mesh in its mouth to trap tiny plastic particles while mimicking the swimming style of real fish. Its goal is not just cleanup-but to serve as a model for bio-inspired environmental robots.
This small invention may have a huge impact, showing how youth and innovation can take on climate challenges creatively.

Family Constellations & Labyrinth Walk Connect to the Wisdom of Your Ancestors

Do you ever feel?
Disconnected from yourself or your feelings?
Unsure of your place in the world?
Burdened by family patterns or untold stories?
Consider the possibility these started with your ancestors.

The Experience

The labyrinth deepens this work, helping the
psyche process, restructure, and fully embody the
new way forward.

Ray Harral Nature Center is hosting a this September in support of the Parks for Pollinators campaign!

What’s a BioBlitz? The Parks for Pollinators BioBlitz is an event where community members work with park staff to create a snapshot of the variety of wildlife that can be found in Broken Arrow. We use an app called iNaturalist to take pictures of plants, insects, and animals to see what wildlife is present in the park during the month of September and provide us with more information about pollinators, which are essential to our ecosystem. This information will help us understand how we can better protect pollinators and other important wildlife in our community.
Sign-up to participate in our BioBlitz now at https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/parks-for-pollinators-2025-broken-arrow
