Upcoming… Out & About
Tuesday, June 9th!
Have you ever wondered about bats? Ever looked skyward just after sunset and seen their tiny leathery wings flapping in the twilight and wanted to know more? Join us for an evening of wonder as we learn about these incredible creatures of the night!
Our educator Jeff will help you separate fact from fiction, dispelling some of the many myths that persist about these misunderstood animals. You’ll learn what bats live in PA, some of the threats they face, and why they are so important to our ecosystems.
And thanks to Pennsylvania Bat Conservation & Rehabilitation, you’ll have the opportunity to witness the release of real live bats, back into their natural habitat!

Thursday, June 4th
Build Your Own Rain Barrel Workshop
Join us for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to build and install a rain barrel at home! Each participant will leave with a fully assembled rain barrel, ready to install and start using right away.
Rain barrels collect rainwater from your downspout for reuse around your home, perfect for watering plants, cleaning yard equipment, or other outdoor needs. This simple, sustainable solution helps reduce household water use while also decreasing stormwater runoff.
All materials and tools will be provided, including a 55-gallon hard plastic drum. Staff will guide you step by step through the building and installation process, making this workshop beginner-friendly.
