JULY'S
FEATURED EVENT:
GETTING TO KNOW MERRYMEETING BAY!
Did
you know Merrymeeting Bay is only one of four places in
the world where two major rivers, with entirely separate
watersheds, come together to share a common delta? Or that
the Bay is home to numerous endangered and threatened
species including the Atlantic sturgeon, which has been
around since dinosaurs roamed the Earth? Join Friends of
Merrymeeting Bay at Bridge Academy Public Library as we
investigate the wonders of Merrymeeting Bay!
Friends
of Merrymeeting Bay will guide children through a
hands-on, minds-on introduction to the unique ecosystems
of Merrymeeting Bay and our work to protect this resource.
Children will also learn about and experience several
taxidermy specimens of animals found in and around the Bay
including the Atlantic Sturgeon, Great Blue Heron and
American Beaver. The program is geared for age 8-12 but
younger kids may attend.
