Green Earth Festival

The South Shore Natural Science Center in Norwell is having a great family event on Sunday, April 17th from 11-4.  The Green Earth Festival will demonstrate ways to a greener life thru eco-landscaping, composting, recycling, organic gardening, solar energy and more.  There will be kids crafts & games, entertainment, nature walks, live animals and so much more!  (All activities will be under cover or indoors should there be rain)

You can also check out the EcoZone while you are there, which is an interactive exhibit that showcases the ecosystems of southeastern Massachusetts.

Admission is $5 per adult, $3 per child aged 2-15.  Maximum is $20 per family and admission includes all activities!

Family Fun Nights

Colony Place has Family Fun Nights on Friday nights in July & August.  Show up at the lawn next to Old Navy from 5:30-7pm for some fun activities! Admission is free but they hope you will bring a non-perishable food item for the Greater Plymouth Food Warehouse.

 

Massachusetts State Parks Programs

There’s quite a few things going on though the Department of Conservation & Recreation this year.

Park Passport:  You can register online to get a Park Passport.  When you visit any of the 76 Massachusetts State Parks, you put a stamp in your passport.  If you visit all the parks in any region, you can get a free t-shirt!

 

The Great Park Pursuit:  A State Park Family Adventure!  Sign your family up and you’ll get an email with details and a game card.  You create a team and then try and attend 6 or more programs from 6 categories to be invited to the Grand Finale on September 18th!
