Join us in Springfield VT, Chester VT, Bellows Falls VT, Hinsdale NH, and Charlestown NH for Summer Unplugged!
Thanks to the generous support from Great River Hydro, The Nature Museum brings free environmental education programming to public libraries and the Bellows Falls Fish Ladder and Visitor Center during the summer months. These engaging free programs highlight topics related to the unique ecology and landscape of Northern New England.
Geared toward ages Pre-K through elementary grades, all ages are welcome. Programs will be 45 minutes long with dedicated time for a story reading and any nature-related questions you may have for our expert educators.
No registration is necessary. Library programs will be outdoors with lots of space for everyone, and inside during inclement weather. Join us to unplug, discover, and learn!
Program for Week Two, July 1st, 2nd, 3rd
No Teeth, No Problem! — Beaks and Bills
From sharp beaks to flat bills, birds use their jaws to eat, communicate, build, and so much more! Join us in exploring how some of our native avian species have adapted to best utilize their beaks, and swoop in to try some methods yourself!
