ROCKLAND — The Chewonki Foundation brings two back-to-back programs, Wednesday, Feb. 21, to the Rockland Public Library. 

Celebrate February vacation with Miss Katie in the Community Room at Rockland Public Library.

Chewonki: Owls of Maine will be from 10:30 - 11:30 a.m.

Two live owls are the highlights of this program, which introduces participants to the owls native to Maine and New England. Using pictures and sounds, participants will learn the identifying characteristics and calls of each owl.  Then, using talons, wings, and skulls, we explore the adaptations of these silent nocturnal hunters. This program ends with an intimate and detailed look at live owls, bringing these creatures of the night into the light!

Chewonki: Scales & Tales will be from 12:30 - 1:30 p.m.

Many people conjure up images of slimy skin and bloodthirsty monsters when they hear the word “reptile.” This program works to dispel some of those fears by allowing participants to examine snakeskins, turtle shells, skeletons, and other unique reptilian artifacts. Meet a live snake, skink, and turtle.

The Chewonki Foundation is a non-profit institution in Wiscasset, Maine which runs educational programs with an environmental focus. For more about Chewonki: https://chewonki.org/at-home/
