Upcoming Virtual Programs: Please join us this week for a variety of programs for all ages!
Wednesday, December 28th at 10:30 am ET: Life and Spines of the Porcupines
Easily recognized by its spines (or quills), the porcupine is well known in Maine. Some might consider it a pest or a danger to dogs, but there is more to this animal than a need to gnaw and a prickly exterior. Find out more about the life of the porcupine and the spines that make it one of a kind. All ages are welcome! (45 minutes)
Thursday, December 29th at 10:00 am ET: Snow Science
During the winter many people enjoy the snow that comes with it. Do you like to build snowmen or go sledding? Maybe you like to sit inside and watch the landscape change into a winter wonderland. Whichever way you enjoy snow, you know that it has many qualities that make it a unique part of winter. Join us as we unravel the mysteries of snow and learn how to make our own snowflake cutout. Please have paper, scissors, and adult supervision for the program’s craft. Program is designed for Grades 3-5 but all ages are welcome! (45 minutes)
