Monmouth County Audubon Family Night March 14

FAIR HAVEN, NJ — Kids of all ages can get more into nature at the Monmouth County Audubon Society’s “Family Night” program, to be held on Wednesday, March 14, at 7:00 p.m.

The meeting will be held at the Knights of Columbus hall, 200 Fair Haven Road, Fair Haven. The public is welcome; admission is free. This program, geared toward elementary-school children, will start one hour earlier than normal MCAS programs to make it more convenient for families to attend.

The "Back Into Nature Wildlife" program is an introduction to nature and provides an overall view of our wildlife kingdom. Kids will be fascinated by live mammals, a large snake, frogs, crustaceans, insects, arachnids, shells and skulls that will be on hand to teach and excite young guests.

The “Back Into Nature” program will be presented by Rizzo’s Reptiles New Jersey. Their mission is to bring people together to appreciate and learn about our natural world through live animal presentations. The group offers many different reptile and wildlife programs that teach students of all ages about the preservation of nature, not only seeing with their own eyes but also with their sense of touch, since hands on participation is often the greatest teacher. The program promises to be fun and educational for children of all ages.

The Monmouth County Audubon Society, a chapter of the National Audubon Society, is dedicated to the enjoyment and study of nature, wildlife conservation, habitat protection, and education. Meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month September through May at the Knights of Columbus hall, 200 Fair Haven Road, Fair Haven; guest speakers address a wide variety of nature-related topics, and refreshments are provided. In addition, the group sponsors at least one field trip per month, and members receive The Osprey, the club’s bi-monthly newsletter.
