Come explore the vital role that the watershed plays in our community through hands-on activities, games, and sensory-based exploration. This one-hour program invites youth ages 5–12 and their families to discover what a watershed is, meet the plants and animals that live in the Taunton River Watershed, and explore the many ways humans interact with and impact these ecosystems. Along the way, we will play interactive games, examine real biofacts, and try cool science activities, like making a “water strider” walk on water. Together, we’ll learn simple ways we can all enjoy and protect our local waterways. Come ready to…

Learn all about the tiny yet important creatures that live in our local waterways! We'll begin by discussing what a macroinvertebrate is, where we can find them, and what they do. We'll then explore live macroinvertebrates from a local waterway using magnifying glasses, ID sheets, and other helpful tools. We'll wrap up by making a caddisfly craft with recycled and natural materials for participants to take home! Registration required. Register online here!

We'll begin by learning about the monarch butterfly and its life cycle through group discussion and tactile exploration, followed by an interactive migration game. We'll wrap up with a monarchs-inspired craft that participants can take home! Registration required. Register online here!
