Welcome to the Oyster Farm! A workshop for kids

Welcome to the Oyster Farm! A workshop for kids In-Person

Welcome to the oyster farm! Kids ages 5 and up are invited to a program on Saturday, June 21 at 10:30am to learn about oyster farms.  Tess from University of Maine Cooperative Extension will teach kids what it takes to run an oyster farm by completing tasks like building an oyster cage and sorting oysters!  

UMaine Cooperative Extension is your doorway to University of Maine expertise. For over 100 years, they've been putting university research to work in homes, businesses, farms, and communities — in every corner of Maine. Their educational efforts focus on the Maine Food System and Positive Youth Development through 4-H programs with a focus on the STEM disciplines. They are part of the nationwide Cooperative Extension System, which works through the land-grant universities in each U.S. state.

The workshop is free with limited space and materials so participants are asked to register for this event using the library’s interactive calendar or by calling 374-5515.  Registration opens four weeks prior to the event on Saturday, May 24th.  For more information, contact Youth Services Librarian Claire at claire.malina@bhpl.net or call 374-5515.
