Wicked Big Puddles

Broad Meadow Brook's homeschool programs offer a friendly, cooperative learning environment for people of all ages! Our homeschool programs are designed for the homeschooling family. Parents are welcome to attend, but students may stay on their own if a medical form is on file with the sanctuary. Advance registration is required by calling (508) 753-6087. At the end of all programs, students will receive follow-up information and activities so the learning can continue at home. We look forward to learning with you! Snowshoe the Sanctuary January 12 Use snowshoes to explore the natural beauty of the sanctuary in winter. Look for tracks, watch winter wildlife, and cure your cabin fever! No experience necessary. We provide the snowshoes and basic instruction, if needed. Parents are welcome to snowshoe with us. (In the event that we don't have snow cover, we will still learn basic snowshoe technique and take a winter ecology hike on foot.) Wicked Big Puddles April 12 Sanctuary pools are the key to survival for several beloved species, like the wood frog and spotted salamander. We'll explore a certified vernal pool and assess how its inhabitants are faring. Then we'll examine a newer wetland area on the sanctuary and determine if it, too, might be a vernal pool. Bring an extra set of clothes, just in case we get wet. Registration is required. See http://www.massaudubon.org/catalog/listing.php?program_code=882-BM12SP1 for more information.
