Register Now!Nature Station: Spring Sunlight!
Daylength is rapidly changing in early spring, making it easy to notice both the movement of the sun and how plants and animals respond to those changes. Join NLRA educators as we explore the lengthening days and their impacts on local ecosystems! You’ll learn more about the changes in daylength & wildlife, how we track daylight throughout the year, and make a suncatcher craft to take home. Nature Station is a drop-in program with activities designed for kids of all ages. This program is free and open to all.
Nature Station: Amazing Amphibians!
As snowmelt and spring rains filled depressions in the landscape, amphibians were on the move for breeding. It can be a hazardous journey with threats from predators and road crossings- but success means a new generation of salamanders and frogs! Join NLRA educators as we explore the amphibians of Grey Rocks- learn more about the species, their super powers, and the vernal pools they lay eggs in, plus make a craft to take home! Nature Station is a drop-in program with activities designed for kids of all ages. This program is free and open to all.
Nature Station: Migration!
Every spring we welcome back a host of birds who have spent the last few months father south and now return for breeding in NH- how do they make these amazing journeys? And which other species move with the seasons? Join NLRA educators as we investigate migration in the Newfound Watershed and farther afield! You’ll learn more about these travelers, explore the Grey Rocks community, and make a craft to take home. Nature Station is a drop-in program with activities designed for kids of all ages. This program is free and open to all.
Guided Exploration: Watershed Hike
Join NLRA and Newfound Land Conservation Partnership supporters on a hike through conserved land in the watershed. Protecting the health of Newfound Lake means protecting the areas upstream that filter, channel, and absorb water. You’ll get a new perspective on the lake and what it takes to keep it clean! This program is free and open to all but registration is required. Dogs are not allowed.
Spring Flowers Walk
As the weather warms, some plants try to catch the eye of pollinators by being early flowerers while others go for a burst of many flowers over a very short time. Join NLRA Education & Outreach Manager Mirka Zapletal for a walk around Grey Rocks exploring these understory ephemerals that are often overlooked.
