Fragata as he presents "The Sights and Sounds of Wetlands and Wildlife.” Learn about the animals that frequent wetlands and ponds, what they are, the sounds they make, and how they grow and live together. After the presentation, attendees are encouraged to meet us at Little Long Pond to try pond scooping and explore pond critters from 12:00 - 1:00 PM. Registration is required for this free event.
