Spiders may have a spooky reputation, but in reality, they’re some of nature’s most fascinating and important creatures. Join Cope Board Member Ted Gilman for a family-friendly walk through our forests and prairies to meet the colorful, unique, and even surprisingly entertaining spiders that live here. Along the way, you’ll learn how to identify species by their webs, discover the special adaptations that help them survive, and see live specimens up close. We’ll also share tips for supporting these beneficial predators in your own backyard and handling those occasional indoor visitors with care.
