Little Explorers: Vernal Pool Exploration
On Thursday, March 31 at 5 p.m. the Carpenter’s Bottom Little Explorers, an interactive program for children ages 0-5 years, will focus on stimulating the senses for infants while also engaging fine motor skills for toddlers. Join Naturalist Abby and Baby Vinny to explore a vernal pool by dip-netting for amphibians and macroinvertebrates. It will be a short hike to get to the vernal pool, so a baby carrier rather than a stroller is suggested. Dress for the weather, bring a change of clothes, and wear old shoes or boots that you wouldn’t mind getting muddy or wet. Nets will be provided.
