On July 12, participants of the Wiscasset Public Library’s Summer Reading Program “Dig Into Reading” had the opportunity to learn about the forest through a blend of cultural folklore and science.
Keith Crowley, Program Director for the Chewonki Foundation’s Traveling Natural History Program, presented “Stories from the Forest.” He brought with him two non-releasable live animals; August, a Big Brown Bat, and Varia, a Barred Owl.
Those attending also had the chance to take part in a night in the life of an opossum though the use of an interactive slide show.
