Fun Flopping Fish
The Junior Naturalist Program on August 20, from 1 to 3 pm, will be about the biology and anatomy of different fish species that live in Dyken Pond.  This program will take place indoors for the first hour, and then the last hour will take place by the docks, fishing.  Please bring your own fishing pole if you have one, since we only have a limited number available. A $1 per child donation covers material costs. Pre-registration is encouraged to help with planning but not required and can be done by contacting the Center at dykenpond@fairpoint.net or 658-2055.
