Build a Bug Box Workshop for Kids
Saturday, May 14th 10am-noon.
Build a bug box to temporarily hold butterflies and other insects for study. The box measures 5 1/2” wide x 7” high x 8” long. All instructions and supplies will be provided by Mike Hibbard, director/naturalist. Some basic hand tools will be needed, but extras will be provided if you don’t have them. After the boxes are completed, you will have a chance to try it out as we go on a “bug safari” to see what we can catch and release. The course is recommended for children ages 10+. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Eat Your Weedies
Sunday, May 15th 12:30pm-2:30pm.
To forage, by definition, means to search for food or provisions. While many discredit the culinary and medicinal benefits of common weeds, such as dandelions, stinging nettles and chickweed, herbalists widely seek out these plants. Learn the basics of herbalism with naturalist Jessica Miller. Discuss the do’s and don’ts of foraging for plants and which ones to use for basic first-aid. Then head out on a seasonal “weed walk” around the property.
$8/person, $6/students, seniors, members
Registration and payment due May 8.
