Program for Week One, June 28th - July 1st

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!

Raptors: High Flying & Fast Swooping Predators

Raptors are amazing predators that soar, swoop, dive, and glide. Learn what makes raptors unique, the differences between some native raptor species, and why they are such important predators in their environments. Immerse your senses in calls, feathers, and fun as we study where and how raptors thrive and survive. We may just even see one soaring above! Come observe bio-facts, hear some raptor calls, read a story, and immerse ourselves in the fast-flying world of predatory birds!
