The Kennebec Estuary Land Trust is offering free children’s programs with the Patten Free Library in May. The two programs will offer spring-themed stories and outdoor activities for children 6 years old and younger.
Young children and chaperoning adults will have the opportunity to explore nature two Tuesdays from 10-11 a.m. Participants will investigate the forest understory and amphibians through stories and outdoor, hands-on exploration. Becky Kolak, a Maine master naturalist volunteer, will lead the programs.
• May 3: Forest Floor Frolic at Sewall Woods Preserve
• May 17: Funny Frogs and Tiny Tadpoles at Thorne Head Preserve
Parents are welcomed and encouraged to take part in the activities. To participate, contact the Patten Free Library’s Children’s Room at (207) 443-5141 ext. 17 or childrens@patten.lib.me.us. These programs are sponsored by the Davenport Trust Fund.
