Interpretive space
Uncover the secret word of decomposers in the Nature Centre's exhibit. From fungi to bacteria and insects, decomposers recycle nutrients and allow the forest to thrive. Without decomposers, life as we know it wouldn’t exist. Come check out some giant mushrooms and creepy crawlies galore!
