Kelp Farming for the Future for kids In-Person
Kids ages 5 and up are invited to come to a workshop about kelp and kelp farms on Wednesday, September 10 at 3:30 p.m. Come join Tess from the University of Maine 4-H in this interactive workshop where we will learn amazing facts about how we grow and use kelp in our daily lives. Participants will learn about the different equipment used on a kelp farm from buoys to weights. Using our new knowledge, we'll design and build a life size model of a kelp farm!
