DERBY — Join the Kellogg Environmental Center staff on Saturday, August 14th from 10:00am-12:00pm for an in-person program where participants of any age can learn about the ideal habitats to attract pollinators and why it is important to support species native to Connecticut.
There are several species of plants and pollinators currently in decline, so it is important for everyone to play a role in helping sustain those populations. During this two hour program, participants will be introduced to native plant species and other backyard features that support local wildlife. There will be rock painting, so participants should bring in their own rocks that are relatively large and flat (large enough for a child’s handprint). Kellogg Environmental Center will provide the art materials.
After the rock painting activity, participants will learn how to harvest seeds of native plants without removing the whole plant from their ecosystem. Participants will also be provided with information on where native plants are easily obtainable from nurseries and garden centers across the state and New England.
