Celebrate this upcoming natural phenomenon with special programming exploring amphibious life. Experience a dramatic frog life cycle, construct a sensory vernal pool, and create a jumping frog and a mini pond in the MakerSpace–can your frog jump into or over the pond?
While we explore and create, we will gain an understanding of how humans can help support and protect amphibians in the neighborhoods we share.
Special programming includes:
– Visiting Scientist: Greg LeClair, Friday, March 14, 2025, 11:00 am – 11:30 am: Have you ever caught a frog or discovered a salamander scurrying over a rock? Come meet scientist Greg LeClair, an amphibian expert and the founder of a citizen science project called Maine Big Night. Big Night is a special night of the year when folks help amphibians cross roads to reach their breeding grounds. Explore the amphibians in Maine and get tips on how you can help them at Big Night!
– Meet a Frog with the Center for Wildlife, Saturday, March 15, 2025, 11:30 am – 12:00 pm: join The Center for Maine Wildlife to meet a live frog. Make observations and explore the adaptations of a live frog.
