WE’RE READY TO BUG YOU! 10am-12pm Grey Rocks Conservation
Area. 78 N Shore Rd, Hebron, NH
Join NLRA educators for an exciting adventure into the insect world at Grey Rocks! Insects play crucial roles in our ecosystems—pollinating flow- ers, feeding animals, and helping break down organic matter—but they often go unappreciated. We’ll explore the different roles insects play and dis- cover which species call Grey Rocks home. Participants will also create their own bug hotel to take home! Na- ture Station is a drop-in program with activities suitable for kids of all ages. This program is free and open to all.
