Nature in Your Neighborhood!

 

Warren Prescott School / May 2023:  In May, we are meeting with kids from Charlestown's Warren Prescott School

Calling All Artists!  Did you know that nature doesn’t just exist in wild places, like forests, jungles or the North Pole?  It’s true -- there are living things working hard to survive and thrive right outside your window. Following are some art activities that will help you identify and share living things near you
