Maine Audubon – Animal Habitation, with Melissa (Pre-K – 2nd Grade) Tuesday, June 17th, 10:30pm – 11:30pm
Join Melissa Gallagher, Education Manager for Maine Audubon for a fun and hands-on children’s program exploring the essential connection between native plants, insects, and birds! We’ll begin by reading On Meadowview Street by Henry Cole, then rotate through two engaging stations: at Station 1, children will make seed bombs using native seeds to support insect and bird life, and at Station 2, they’ll become “chickadees” in a feeding simulation to discover just how many caterpillars it takes to feed a baby bird in a single day. This program highlights how native plants are key to supporting a healthy, thriving ecosystem.
