OUTDOOR Pond Dipping

Saturday, May 1510:00—11:00 AMOff siteWilmington Memorial Library175 Middlesex Ave, Wilmington, MA, 01887

Join nature enthusiast Dinah Borden at the pond at Rotary Park to explore pond life! Children, accompanied by a parent or caregiver, will be given a quick lesson on some common insects and creatures that live in ponds in Massachusetts. Each participant will be given an insect identification key and provided with a net to sweep the water and collect creatures that we’ll observe in trays, try to identify, and then release back into the pond. Participants should wear boots or old sneakers as they will likely step in mud.   Attendance is limited.  Grades K-5
