Kids Count for Wildlife
Calling all kids ages 9 through 18 who care about wildlife! Try your hand at field research, develop your naturalist skills, meet real scientists, and do something to help the wild animals of our world by counting critters with the Harris Center. The data we collect will help scientists learn more about butterflies and aquatic macroinvertebrates in New Hampshire. Join us for one or both of these special community science projects:

Monarchs and Milkweed Survey
Thursday, July 28
9 to 10 a.m. in Peterborough
Who doesn’t love monarch butterflies and their striped caterpillars? Here’s your chance to help scientists find out more about these fascinating insects. Come count monarch eggs, caterpillars, and butterflies with the Harris Center’s team of naturalists at a milkweed patch in Peterborough. If you like treasure hunts and have a sharp eye for finding things, this morning is for you! Exact meeting location will be provided upon registration. Rain date: July 29.
 
Invertebrate Survey of Moose Brook
Wednesday, August 17
10 to 11 a.m. in Hancock
Kick up stones and muck as we survey Hancock’s Moose Brook for water scorpions, predaceous diving beetles, water pennies, and more! Look under rocks for sparkling stone caddisfly cases and discover what creatures like stonefly, dragonfly, and mayfly nymphs can tell us about the water quality of the brook. Meet at the Hancock Depot at 10 a.m. Rain date: August 18.

Children under the age of 12 need to be accompanied by an interested family member. All others can attend without parental supervision.
