New England Natives
Focusing on animals that live in New England, we will provide an in-depth introduction to the unique differences between raptors, reptiles, and mammals. Do snakes have fur? Do rabbits have scales? Are birds “cold-blooded”? Why do opossums have pouches? How do each of these animal groups adapt to our changing seasons? Using our amazing non-releasable animal ambassadors and interactive displays, the answers to these and other questions will be revealed. This hour long program will connect the audience with these beautiful ambassadors of their species as well as provide their natural and personal histories and empower audience members to help to steward the environment that we all share.
Technology Support

12:00-2:00
Bring your technology questions or seek guidance for one of your devices from our volunteer tech expert!

12:00-2:00
Sweet Stitches is a crafting group for knitting, crochet, sewing, cross stitch, and other fiber arts. Join us and bring a project you are currently working on or a finished object to share and begin a new one.
The group also works with The Warming Project, an organization looking for crafters to make blankets, scarves, mittens, hats, and socks for the unsheltered on the seacoast. Yarn can be provided for this if you have the skills but not the materials. Yarn donations will also be accepted.
