Pick #2
This is a great way to spend a day! If you’re up for even more of an adventure you can tour the Constitution, spend some time in the museum, and then take the water taxi over to the New England Aquarium area and continue the fun at Faneuil Hall, the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway (one of my favorite areas of the city…and you can bet I’ll be writing about it again soon), or the North End!
Pick #3
Fairy Shrimp, Salamanders, & Frogs, Oh My!
Head out to Ravenswood Park from 1-3 on Saturday to learn all about Vernal Pools and the critters who call them home!
Read all about the program HERE
Vernal pools are crucial to the survival of fairy shrimp, salamanders, and wood frogs. We’ll have fun exploring the pools at Ravenswood Park. Participants will learn how to certify and protect vernal pools. When vernal pools become certified, we can prevent development on and around them. This program is instructive for participants, so you, too, can take home the techniques, forms, and methods to certify pools.
Pick #4
We are GIANT fans of Maritime Gloucester, but sadly they are not open for the season quite yet. They are, however, offering some great April Vacation programs later in the week!
Check them all out by clicking here. Their educators always do a phenomenal job!
