Slugs are soft-bodied molluscs that make holes in leaves, stems, buds, flowers, roots, corms, bulbs and tubers of many plants. Most slugs feed at night, and the slime trails, if present, can alert you to the level of activity.
The Discovery Center is a hidden treasure in the Fresno community. It is located at 1944 N. Winery near the airport. It has a museum with exhibits inside and cool grounds to explore outside. This makes a great field trip or a fun family excursion.
Fresno's location, very near the geographical center of California, places the city a comfortable distance from several of the major recreation areas and urban centers in the state. Just 60 mi (97 km) south of Yosemite National Park, it is the nearest major city to the park.
