The Eco-Explorers will be meeting up at the Enka-Candler Library this winter. We have two great programs scheduled.
Mammalogy – All About Our Local Mammal Friends
Tuesday, Dec. 13 at 4 p.m.
Warm up those paws, and dust off that fur! At the Enka-Candler Library we're digging into the mind-blowing world of Mammals! We’ll have a free educational program with the North Carolina Arboretum to learn all about the mammals that call Western North Carolina their home.Come ready to hear about the ecoEXPLORE program, discover some new mammal facts, and get an up-close encounter with animal artifacts, like tracks, scat, and fur samples.
Ornithology: Birds of WNC
Tuesday, Feb. 7 at 4 p.m.
Join us for an educational program with the North Carolina Arboretum to explore the unique features and diversity of local birds! Have you ever wondered what birds do in winter – which stay and which travel far away? We’ll have the answers to this and many other questions at our free program. Come ready to hear about the ecoEXPLORE, learn about a few WNC bird species, and try to spot birds living around the library.
Eco-Explore programs are intended for kids ages 5 to 12 to get to know the outdoors and participate in citizen science. We also have Eco-Explore backpacks at the Library with kid-friendly technology that you can check out with your library card. Any question? Contact the Enka-Candler Library at (828) 250-4758 or email them here. We look forward to seeing you at the library!
