Join expert naturalists to learn all about vernal pools and the creatures that live there!
This outing for families will explore the pools of Crystal Gorge Conservation Area in Haverhill. The naturalist-educators will dip into the pool water to find fairy shrimp, salamander eggs, and frog eggs. We will bring them back up to the group for safe viewing. We may also see other pond life like beetles, leeches, larvae, and more! Children will learn about the life cycles and special abilities of these creatures and we may even be able to touch some slimy egg masses (a favorite activity of every group)!
This outing is geared toward families with children ages 3-10, but welcomes siblings of all ages!
Space is limited, so please RSVP.
This outing is a joint program with the City of Haverhill, Wildflower Montessori, North Shore Nature Programs, and Greenbelt.
