During the school vacation weeks in April, we will be celebrating Earth Day! Join us on either Tuesday, April 22, or April 29, for engaging visitor programs designed to educate and inspire visitors of all ages to take action in protecting our planet. Led by our naturalists, these programs will take place in the Center and out in Odiorne Point State Park. In addition to the scheduled activities, guests can enhance their experience with fun tabling activities on these days. Be sure to mark your calendars with our Earth Day schedule:
11:00 AM – Sprouting into Spring Walk
