Fascinating Frogs with Sue Hurst (Fourth Fridays for Families Aug. 26)
Join Sue Hurst as we jump into the fantastic world of frogs! Did you know that frogs belong to an amazing group of creatures called amphibians or that the term amphibian means “two lives?” Did you know that just like the insects they eat, frogs and their friends go through metamorphosis? Find out this and more with this fun program for kids aged 3 to 6 and their caregivers. We will start inside with a short introduction and story, then head out to our New Pond to look for frogs and tadpoles. After our frog frolic, we’ll hop back to the Visitor Center to create an art project so you can remember this fun day. Sue Hurst has been volunteering at Bowman’s Wildflower Preserve since 2008, working in the Twinleaf Book & Gift Shop and assisting in the Thursday morning children’s groups, where stories are read, hikes are taken and crafts are made. Hurst is on the Preserve’s development committee, is the children’s activity coordinator at Gardenfest Weekend and mentors English at Crossover Mission, both in Vero Beach, Florida. She loves children and finds the Preserve a very special place to share her love of nature, birds, frogs, flowers and interactions with amazing people. Her greatest joy is being an active grandmother to 5 remarkable grandchildren.
