Nature Exhibit at the Niagara Falls History Museum
Preserving the diversity of life on earth is not only beneficial but essential to humanity. The Niagara Falls History Museum has a new exhibit entitled “Nature”, in which you will learn about biodiversity, the relationships between species within food webs, and the gene pools of particular species.
Habitat destruction is the most serious threat to biodiversity, but there are others as well. Fortunately, there are people and organizations that strive to preserve or restore native habitats and species, and “Nature” encourages participation in these efforts.
This exhibition also examines the experience of owls with eleven beautiful owl specimens that examine the fascinating and less well-known aspects of owl behaviour, biology and lifestyle.
When: January 14th – April 19th, 2015
Hours: Tuesday to Sunday: 10:00 am – 5:00 pm, Thursday extended hours to 9:00 pm
