SUMMARY:Meet Live Raptors and Other PA Wildlife with the CCEEC
DESCRIPTION:Rehabilitators and Naturalists from the CCEEC will talk about PA Native Wildlife. Meet some of their raptors and other live animals!\n\n\nPlease join us for this special event as we host Wildlife Rehabilitators and Naturalists from the Carbon County Environmental Education Center to talk about PA Native Wildlife. The CEECC has been helping injured wildlife and promoting “Conservation through Education” since 1985. It sits on 70 acres of woodlands\, wetlands\, and meadows within Mauch Chunk State Park in Jim Thorpe\, PA.  \nThe CCEEC specializes in educating the public about wildlife\, conservation\, importance of habitats\, and wildlife rehabilitation. It is a discovery hub for children and adults who can visit the center for free to hike the trails and view their many exhibits including an impressive collection of skulls\, taxidermy\, live reptiles and amphibians\, and their resident non-releasable hawks\, eagles\, and owls. They have a small wildlife hospital and trained veterinary staff on site who help injured and orphaned wild animals.  \nThe CCEEC Staff will talk about PA Native Wildlife and why their conservation is so important. They will bring some of their ambassador\, non-releasable raptors (birds of prey) as well as reptiles and maybe more for you to see up close.  There will also be a selection of interesting things such as furs\, feathers\, bones\, and shells that you will be able to touch and handle (awesome for the kids!).  \nThis talk is open to all ages\, and we encourage you to bring your children and grandchildren. Because there will be live animals\, we are emphasizing their importance of respecting them and their handlers by being seated quietly during the talk. We will provide folding chairs\, but feel free to bring your own camp chair if you prefer it.  \nThis event costs $15 to attend per person. Please be sure to get a ticket for everyone in your family that is attending (except children ages 4 and under are free and do not need to be registered). Proceeds from this event are used to pay our speaker fee. Please also consider bringing a donation for the CEECC  to help fund their wildlife rehabilitation efforts and facility maintenance\, if you are able.  \nIn the event of inclement weather\, we will likely need to postpone or cancel this event. Please provide an email that you check regularly when you register in case of any need for cancellation.

SUMMARY:Celebrate Earth Day by Learning about the Importance of Native Plants
DESCRIPTION:Curious about native plants? This “talk and walk” is a great opportunity to learn about the importance of native plants and what we do.\n\n\nEvery day\, more and more people are hearing about and gaining an interest in native plants. We are here to help both new and seasoned gardeners with their garden needs and provide the highest quality native plants to them\, as well as educating about the ecological value these plants provide. We understand there is a lot of information out there\, and getting started can be daunting. So\, what better day than Earth Day to celebrate native plants and talk about why they are important and why they make wonderful additions to your gardens and landscapes.  \nThis talk is geared towards “beginners” but everyone could learn something new! Our horticulturalist\, Brandon\, will walk around the nursery display gardens with you to talk about the value\, cultivation\, and nuances of native plants. Learn what actually classifies plants as “native”\, why birds and butterflies need native plants\, why biodiversity is important\, what threats do native plants face\, and how to get started planting native plants in your own gardens and landscapes. This will be an informal\, open discussion based talk\, so please bring your questions and feel free to actively engage.  \nThis talk is mostly geared for adults and interested teens\, but you are welcome to bring your children. We will be mostly walking around and stopping at various areas of the nursery\, but we can go at a pace comfortable for the group. Expect the talk to last between 60 and 90 minutes.  \nThis event is rain or shine\, so bring an umbrella and wear proper shoes for the weather. In the event of extreme or dangerous weather\, we will cancel and postpone the event.  \nThis event is FREE to attend but we ask you register so we have an idea of how many people will be attending. Please register each person in your group.
