HARVARD — Area children are invited to explore the world of endangered wildlife during “Helping Endangered Species with Joys of Nature” featuring live animals and hands-on learning — with two sessions — at 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 4, at the Harvard Public Library, 4 Pond St.
The program will examine what it means for a species to be endangered, why animals and their habitats are disappearing, and what individuals can do to help.
Participants will learn about endangered species found in New England and around the globe — and will have the opportunity to meet some of their animal relatives up close.
Presenter Joy Marzolf, founder of The Joys of Nature, will bring live animals and artifacts to enhance the experience.
Marzolf holds a bachelor’s degree in biology and previously worked as a naturalist and educator at Mass Audubon’s Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary.
Registration is required, and attendance is limited to 75 people per session. Families should register for either the 12:30 p.m. or 1:30 p.m. program.
While designed for children in grades kindergarten through 6, preschoolers may attend with older siblings.
The program is sponsored by the Friends of the Harvard Public Library.
