Owls -- Week Two of Summer Unplugged


Program for Week Two, July3rd and 5th

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!

World of Owls–What’s All the Hoot About?

Owls are magnificent predators that we often think of as hooting birds of the night. But there's more to owls than their distinctive calls and nocturnal activity. Come discover which owls call New England home, how they hunt, and why these birds are such amazing creatures. Hear a story, get “talons-on” with real owl biofacts, and explore what makes owls unique!
