Through a wonderful partnership with the Camden Public Library, we offer a nature education program free to the public monthly (Sept-April) on the third Thursday at 6 pm. The events are also offered online via Zoom – to watch them live and be able to ask questions, you must pre-register through the Library (each upcoming event has a link to register). Due to the magic of the internet, we have recorded many of the presentations so you can watch at your leisure. Enjoy!
