Energy Flows As Plants and Animals Grow

ANNA WILLS

Join us as we flow like energy through the energy cycle. Discover how energy moves from the sun to the earth and through the food web to our plates. Come ready to play as your favorite predator or prey animal as we explore food webs and energy cycles.

Bio

Anna Wills lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains with her family on their family farm. She’s taught nature-based programming for over twenty years in Virginia State Parks, at Virginia’s Explore Park and to eager homeschoolers around the Commonwealth. She loves sharing her space with the predators and prey animals of the mountains… as long as they aren’t eating her chickens.
