Kids Program
Saturday, August 7, 1 PM - 3 PM
The World is Getting Smaller?
Everyone’s talking about it, but what is this whole “sustainability” thing? Is the planet really shrinking? How much of an impact am I
having on our future? Should I be worried? Whose job is it, anyways, to keep the world running? Is there anything I can do about it? Even
if green isn’t your favorite color, we hope you’ll come out to join us for some discussions and projects about the responsibility of
sustainability. Program is geared towards middle school students, but all are welcome! Program will be held at 73 Weir Hill Road,
Sudbury, MA 01776. For more information contact Joan_Campau@fws.gov or 978.443.4661 x18.
