Southeast Oklahoma Library System Backyard Explorers was originally a popular live program presented by Naturalist Heath Stanfield and has been translated to video. Programming during April 2021 will include live sessions on Facebook where explorers of every age will be able to have their science questions answered by representatives from SEOLS and OSU. The Backyard Explorers programming will include six exciting topics to encourage young people to get outside and explore the nature around them by inviting them to become naturalists and follow along using the guidebook that can be picked up from any SEOLS location or digitally available on our website. Videos accompanying each week's theme are available on our website, YouTube, and/or Social Media.
