Virtual Vernal Pool Exploration

Saturday May 15 at 1:00.

This program is recommended for families with students in elementary and middle school.

When walking through the woods, it’s possible you’ve passed by one of the most unique habitats that occur in Massachusetts without giving it a second thought: a vernal pool. These shallow bodies of water usually dry up by mid-summer, but during spring are home to beautiful and fascinating creatures such as blue-spotted salamanders and “water tigers.” Join us for a 45 minute virtual program where Andrew Prazar of North Shore Nature Programs will broadcast live from a local vernal pool. Andrew will show you how to safely collect and observe animals from these pools while also discussing their unique adaptations and lifecycles.

This program was funded through federal funds provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and administered by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.

Virtual Whale Watch

This program is recommended for families with elementary and middle school students.  

Saturday, March 27 at 1:00pm 

Cynde McInnis from the Whalemobile will lead the virtual whale watch.  Cynde has led over 2000 whale watch trips out of Gloucester, Ma.  Participants will “virtually” leave Gloucester Harbor and head out to sea aboard the Privateer IV from Seven Seas Whale Watch.  Students will learn about the species of whales that are observed off the coast of Massachusetts. Participants will discuss why they are there, see videos of behaviors they do, and learn about individual humpback whales. If you have never been on a whale watch, this is a close second.

This program was funded through federal funds provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and administered by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.

Register to receive a Zoom link.  One registration per family/screen.  There is limited space, but we will have a waiting list if you are not able to get in.
