The Extraordinary Caterpillar Screening & Discussion
2026-11-12 19:00 - 20:30 | Duke Farms, 1112 Dukes Parkway West, Hillsborough Township, NJ, 08844, United States
Experience Doug Tallamy’s newest documentary “The Extraordinary Caterpillar” here at a living laboratory!

We’re hosting a special screening of The Extraordinary Caterpillar, a beautifully shot 60-minute documentary that reveals the vital—and often overlooked—role caterpillars play in our ecosystems.

From blooming meadows to city parks and backyard gardens, this inspiring film celebrates the magic of nature while showing families practical ways to make a difference.

Along the way, you’ll see the groundbreaking work of The Caterpillar Lab, entomologist David Wagner, and Doug Tallamy, co-founder of Homegrown National Park.

After watching, enjoy a discussion with Scientist and Director of Agroecology Dr. Erin Treanore to hear more about the insect research happening here at Duke Farms and learn how you can support these species in your own backyard!

Resident Birds of Winter
2026-12-04 13:30 - 15:00 | Duke Farms, 1112 Dukes Parkway West, Hillsborough Township, NJ, 08844, United States
Join Seasonal Educator Toni on a winter birdwatching walk to see which birds can be found in the colder months!

When winter rolls in, we expect to see less wildlife as they seek shelter or hibernate through the cold. However, some wildlife can actually endure such conditions and still be seen, including birds. In fact, certain birds only come around once the frost does too! Join us on a guided walk to appreciate the species that are still around, while also learning some easy yet useful bird ID tips. We will also be logging our observations onto eBird, a community science tool that keeps track of when and how often different species appear. Binoculars will be provided, but feel free to bring your own gear!
We will be meeting first behind the Farm Barn Orientation Center before departing for our program!
