Event: An exciting environmental education collaborative between White Memorial, Education Connection in Litchfield, and the Schaghticoke Middle School in New Milford . The primary focus of the collaboration is to connect middle school students with an outdoor experience at a nature center and at the same time implement one strategy of the newly adopted Connecticut Environmental Literacy Plan. A multi-faceted program involving outreach activities at the school as well as a field trip to White Memorial will be high-lighted by a grand finale scheduled for Saturday, May 18th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the form of a Community Education Day. This is an open house day free to the public in which the students will be conducting activities and sharing their knowledge. They will be operating various stations that participants may visit and rotate through. Presentations at the stations will include information about seed germination and plant growth that they learned while growing plants for a school garden beautification project, museum scavenger hunts, nature walks around the pond, wildlife BINGO games, and reptile and amphibian programs, and coverboard projects.

All are invited to participate in this day at no cost. The Conservation Center Museum will be open with no admissions charge. Come and join the fun... and find out if you are smarter than a 7th grader!
