Homeschool Programs at Broad Meadow Brook -- Native Pollinators September 16, 2010

Broad Meadow Brook's homeschool programs offer a friendly, cooperative learning environment for people of all ages! Our homeschool programs are designed for the homeschooling family. Parents are welcome to attend with the student(s), but students may stay on their own if a medical form is on file with the sanctuary. - - Advance registration is required by calling (508) 753-6087. At the end of all programs, students will receive follow-up information and activities so the learning can continue at home. - Program fees for each participating child are $8 Mass Audubon member / $12 non-Mass Audubon member. - - We look forward to learning with you! - - Native Pollinators: Why the Buzz? - Thursday, September 16, 1-3pm - Ages 8 and above - - Eighty percent of flowering plants depend on pollinating animals for their survival. Yet native pollinators -- such as bees, flies, beetles, and butterflies -- are in decline resulting from human activities. We'll dissect a flower to see how pollination works. Then we'll meet major groups of native pollinators and find out what actions we can take to increase their numbers. Registration is required. Call 508-753-6087 for details.
