Celebrate National Pollinators Week with the Newfound Lake Region Association at Newfound Nature Station, a free program that connects youth and families to the natural world. This event will be held at Grey Rocks Conservation Area at 178 N Shore Road, Hebron, NH on June 22 and 25 from 10 am to 12 pm. Participants will play Pollinator Bingo and learn about the importance of pollinators and what they need to survive with NLRA environmental educators before completing their pollinator adventure by creating pollen stamp art to take home! (Note that the art activity involves water-based paint, so participants should dress accordingly.) On June 22 NLRA educators will also be providing an introduction to birding, and visitors are encouraged to bring binoculars! This program is free and open to all.
Newfound Nature Station, along with other family programs and events, is part of NLRA’s initiative to encourage residents and visitors to enjoy the natural beauty around them, learn more about the environment and how to protect it, and fall in love with the Newfound Watershed. By connecting the people of Newfound to the wonders around them, NLRA works to inspire the next generation of stewards and fulfill the mission of protecting Newfound Lake and its watershed. Along with programs like Newfound Nature Station, NLRA maintains Grey Rocks Conservation Area as a place for people and wildlife alike.
