Program for Week Two, July5th - July 8th

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!

Righteous Reptiles and Awesome Amphibians

Northern New England is home to many special reptiles and amphibians. But, how do you tell them apart? Did you know that some frogs freeze for the winter while some turtles stop “breathing”? Come explore how these cold-blooded creatures survive year-round, and explore hands-on biofacts (snake skins, turtle shells, and more)! Get ready to settle in for a story reading, and expand your love for our amphibian and reptilian neighbors!
