Free Nature Programs: Summer Unplugged

Join us for our FREE summer programming to learn about our local ecology.

Thanks to the generous support from Great River Hydro, The Nature Museum is excited to once again bring free environmental education programming to public libraries in Chester, Springfield, Walpole, NH, Charlestown, NH, and the Bellows Falls Fish Ladder and Visitor Center during the summer of 2022.

Programs run on Wednesdays through Saturdays for seven weeks, from June 22nd to August 6th.

These programs aim to be engaging and highlight topics related to the unique ecology and landscape of Northern New England. Geared towards youth ages Pre-K through elementary grades, all are welcome. Programs will be 45 minutes long with dedicated time for a story reading and any nature-related questions you may have for our expert educators. Library programs will be outdoors on good weather days and indoors on bad weather days. Join us to unplug, discover, and learn! No registration is required for this free programming.
