“Ranger Powers’ Live Animal Show” is coming to Clark Botanic Garden on Sunday, April 19 from 2 to 3 p.m., giving children the opportunity to interact with live animals. Admission is $5.
Ranger Eric Powers engages children in educational discussions about animals, nature, and the environment, and introduces them to hedgehogs, skinks, tarantulas, tortoises and snakes.
“The addition of this show to our already outstanding Parks Department activity lineup promises to motivate our youth to understand the importance of the environment in a fun and engaging way,” said Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth. “There’s nothing like a hands-on experience to help children learn.”
Ranger Powers operates the Long Island-based company “Your Connection to Nature,” which aims to increase young people’s appreciation for nature through intriguing educational activities, trips and workshops. Look for Ranger Powers in a new nature series on North Hempstead TV that teaches kids about preserving the environment.
