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 5: 7/22, 7/23, & 7/24
Owls: What’s all the Hoot About?
Owls are magnificent predators that we often think of as hooting birds of the night. But there's more to owls than their distinctive calls and nocturnal activity. Come discover how they hunt, what twelve species of owls call New England home (eight in Vermont!), and why these birds are such amazing creatures. Hear a story, see and touch real owl biofacts, and get talons-deep in an owl pellet!
