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 Three July 8th, 9th, 10th
Underwater Animals
What’s going on beneath the ripples? Can swimmers move from one home to another? What’s a macroinvertebrate? There’s more in our rivers, streams, and ponds than just fish! Join us to learn about the Connecticut River and its tributaries that are home to fish, amphibians, insects, otters, and many non-swimming critters too! Explore pictures, hands-on biofacts, listen to a story, and get hands-on to learn more about many native water-loving creatures!
