The Lewiston Public Library, together with Chewonki and the Lake Auburn Watershed Protection Commission, plan to offer an in-person presentation on predators and their role in nature.
The free program is planned for 2 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 23, in Callahan Hall at the 200 Lisbon St. library.
This program is recommended for those 8 and older. No registration is required, according to a news release from Sara Turner at the library.
This event will include live animals, activities, and discuss predators in the context of the food web, natural cycles, and habitat loss. Some of the animal processes that happen locally in the Lake Auburn Watershed will be covered. Live animals include a turtle, snake, and an owl or opossum.
Chewonki is a school, camp and environmental education organization based in Wiscasset that inspires transformative growth, teaches appreciation and stewardship of the natural world, and challenges people to build thriving, sustainable communities throughout their lives.
The commission is an interlocal board that has the responsibility to maintain the high water quality of Lake Auburn through conservation, watershed management, and education. Lake Auburn provides safe drinking water to more than 41,000 people in the Lewiston and Auburn community.
