Monday, October 2, 2023 1:30 - 2:30 PM Brewster Council on Aging 673 Main Street, Brewster The BPC invites you to learn about the Pond Education Program that we developed for the children in Brewster's elementary schools. Through a combination of a short presentation, a puppet show, and hands-on activities at a pond, students learn to identify pond creatures, how to recognize the features of a healthy pond, and the importance of protecting our ponds. The BPC hopes that by attending this presentation, you will also gain a greater appreciation of the diversity of the amazing ecosystems of our ponds and will become active participants in protecting this important resource. To register, please call the Council on Aging at 508-896-2737.  |
