Kids Vacation Program Features Live Animals!
Register your child to learn how animals adapt in a lesson that features a hedgehog and bearded dragon, plus a hike outside.
The Waltham Land Trust is thrilled to offer a special vacation activity for 3rd, 4th and 5th graders on Wednesday, February 22, at the Prospect Hill Park Lodge. Animal Adaptations Workshop for Kids will feature two naturalists from Mass Audubon who will discuss how various animals adapt to changes in their environment. They will bring with them a hedgehog named Sugar and Patty the bearded dragon. Weather permitting, part of the lesson will include a trek outside in Prospect Hill Park to look for signs of critters adapting to winter conditions.
The program takes place on Wednesday, February 22, 1 – 2:30 pm at the Prospect Hill Park Lodge at 314 Totten Pond Road. The program is free but space is limited, so registration is required. Email Sonja at swadman@walthamlandtrust.org or call the WLT office at (781)-893-3355. If necessary, priority will be given to those in Waltham schools. This program has been funded in part by the Waltham Cultural Council, a local agency that is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
