Berkshire Botanical Garden

This event has been cancelled.

This program is designed for all ages and highlights some of the furry creatures that inhabit the landscape with us. Traveling under cover of darkness, many of these amazing mammals seldom show themselves to humans during the day. Instructor Rick Roth will encourage families to get to know these mammals, learn about their natural history, and help develop appreciation and respect for the wild animals that often live in our own backyards. The talk will include live animals: a grey fox, skunk, flying squirrels, and more.


Our popular Family Friday series is for students and stewards of all ages! Our expanded programming includes presentations and events every Friday throughout July and August on a variety of topics from insects to snakes, mammals, raptors and more. Family Fridays are free with Garden admission (BBG members are admitted free of charge). Join us as we encourage an innate curiosity about the natural world and promote a deeper connection to our Berkshire landscape and world at large.
