Invasion of the Adelgid
How a Tiny Insect Kills a Huge Tree.
Ideal for Grades 3 and up. Just how does an almost microscopic insect kill some of the largest trees in the Smokies! Watch a fun video and do an activity that shows you how, all you need is a straw, a pin and a cup of water.
THE LAST DRAGONS
Protecting Appalachia’s Hellbenders
An intimate glimpse at North America’s Eastern Hellbender, an ancient salamander that lives as much in myth as in reality…. and in many waters, myths are all that remain of these sentinel stream-dwellers.

In Great Smoky Mountains National Park, citizen scientists of all ages have played a role in different projects throughout the years. See how you can contribute!
