Black Bears -- Week Three of Summer Unplugged


Program for Week Three, July 12th - July 15th

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!

Be Aware; Care for the Black Bear!

One of New England’s largest waddlers is the American black bear. Although often feared, these sizable mammals are intelligent, sneaky, and beautiful. How can we share our habitats safely with these two hundred pound omnivores? Come activate your inner bear as we learn about the life of black bears, explore black bear biofacts, snuggle up for a story reading, and engage in the black bear experience!
