Peat Bogs For Kids
Saturday, July 26 2008, 9:00am - 10:30am

Free. Led by the Bog Summer Educational Intern.  This walk is for 5 to 10 year olds.  We will see, touch, smell, and talk about lots of neat things, from skunk cabbage to pitcher plants to cotton grass.  We’ll use a turkey baster to suck the water out of a pitcher plant to see what lives inside the pitcher.  We’ll poke a long rod down into the peat to find out what is at the bottom.  There’ll be more surprises.  This learning experience is fun!  One (only) parent must accompany his or her children. (NOTE: not yet confirmed)

All walks meet at the beginning of the boardwalk in the Bangor City Forest  (Tripp Road off Stillwater Avenue, north of  the Bangor Mall) unless otherwise noted. Walks are free.  Reserve beforehand.

Group size is limited to 12 unless otherwise noted. Walks may be cancelled due to insufficient registration. You will be notified if cancelled.  Contact: Mary Bird at 207-866-2578 or email:  This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it (please write "boardwalk" on the subject line).
