SUMMARY:Children's Acorn Adventures - Bird Eggs
DESCRIPTION:The Last Green Valley Acorn Adventure for Families: Excellent Eggs \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen: 3/30/2025 @ 2:00 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEggs are excellent! Some are large\, some are tiny\, some are blue and others are speckled. Many kinds of critters are born by hatching from an egg here in The Last Green Valley National Heritage Corridor. Join TLGV Ranger Emma MacDonald and Volunteer Ranger Christie Hazen to learn about the different kinds of eggs we have here and the animals that lay them. We’ll also learn about how animals protect their eggs and how the babies inside get out. This is a hands-on program and you’ll get to meet some live critters who hatch out of eggs! This program is rain or shine and will be held at the Patriots Park Pavilion. Acorn adventures are always free thanks to the generous sponsorship of Centerville Bank. Hosted by The Last Green Valley \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite: http://www..thelastgreenvalley.org \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhone: 860-774-3300
