Program for Week Five, July 20th - July 23rd

About 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!

Pollinators: The Unsung Heroes!

What is a pollinator? How do they pollinate? Bees are not the only pollinators! Other pollinators include non-honey bees, butterflies, moths, other insects, birds, and even bats! On average, one out of every three to four bites of food we eat or sips of a drink we gulp are made possible by pollinators. Come learn and discover something new about the native pollinator heroes right in our backyards. “Bee” ready to learn, hear a story, and “pollinate!”
