Nature-themed events at Farrington Nature Linc

February 15, 2018

Farrington Nature Linc will host several nature-themed events for children and adults this spring. They take place at 295 Cambridge Turnpike in Lincoln unless otherwise indicated.

Owl Prowl
Saturday, March 3 — 4:30–6 p.m.
Have you ever seen or heard an owl in the woods? We’ll begin our “Owl Prowl” with an owl craft and a short discussion about owls. Then we’ll head outside for a guided walk around Farrington’s property, where we’ll we do some “owling” (learning about owl calls and keeping our eyes out for owls). When the sun sets, we’ll head inside for hot cocoa and a reading of the children’s book Owl Moon. $10 per person, $20 for a family of four; click here for tickets.

Galileo Star Party
Saturday, March 10 — 7–9:30 p.m.
Join Farrington Nature Linc for an evening performance by talented and professional actor Mike Francis as Galileo. His performance is perfect for all ages to learn about astronomy. Afterward, we’ll follow Mike Francis outside to our fire circle to enjoy s’mores. We’ll also set up and use telescopes to stargaze. This program is supported in part by a grant from the Lincoln Cultural Council, a local agency supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. Free; click here to register.

Art on the Wing
Saturday, April 28 — 9:30 a.m.–noon
Join Farrington Nature Linc and Wingmasters for an interactive program with five live birds of prey. Each bird is displayed by the Wingmasters presenter for 10-15 minutes while the audience has the opportunity to draw and ask questions. The Wingmasters presenter will point out each bird’s characteristics, guiding the audience toward a fuller understanding of what defines a bird of prey. 9:30–10:30 a.m.: Children’s drawing time (parents/guardians may join). 11 a.m.–noon: adults’ drawing time. $10 for children, $15 for adults; click here for tickets.

Farrington Nature Linc will also host a talk and Q&A with Florence Williams, author of The Nature Fix: Why Nature Makes us Happier, Healthier, and More Creative, at the Kickstand Café at 594 Massachusetts Ave. in Arlington on Wednesday, April 18 from 7–10 p.m.  Attendees must be 21  or older, as there will be alcohol at the event.
