SUMMARY:Nature’s Helping Hands - February School Vacation Week
DESCRIPTION:No school?  Bring the family to Holyoke Heritage State Park this week.  Investigate different ways in which plants and animals help us. Come one day or every day to learn how we cannot live without them.  All programs go from 10:30 – 12:00. There is something each day appropriate for elementary age students to adults. \nTuesday\, February 17:   Dogs – Our Best Friends\nLearn how dogs help people with disabilities and with emotional support. Give some love to a team of “Love on a Leash” therapy dogs. \nWednesday\, February 18:  Worms Make Great Soil\nLearn how to turn your food scraps into nutritious soil for your garden. See a vermiculture bin and meet some red wigglers. Take home some “worm juice” to fertilize your houseplants. \nThursday\, February 19:  Trees to the Rescue\nTrees cool hot cityscapes\, filter polluted air\, provide relaxing views\, slow runoff and more. Learn about superhero trees through crafts\, games\, tree walk and more. Find out how to get a tree planted in your yard for free this spring. Bundle up for the short walk outdoors. \nFriday\, February 20: Pollinators\, Plants and Food\nDo you like to eat? Many plants we enjoy depend on pollinators like bees\, butterflies\, bats or birds to propagate them. Learn about this important relationship\, then make some seed-embedded paper to take home to plant in your garden for those important pollinators. \nAll programs take place in the Visitor Center of Holyoke Heritage State Park. \nFree hot chocolate available every day! \nAs always\, programs are free and open to the public. Children must be accompanied by an adult. \nReservations requested by calling 413-534-1723 but not required. Large groups please call ahead. \n
