Family Fridays: Nature Matters with Jen Lahey

When: 
Aug. 14, 2020 3 p.m. to Aug. 15, 2020 3:45 p.m.
Where: 

Berkshire Botanical Garden

Nature Matters is home to a diverse collection of animal educators. Many of these animals came to us because they were unable to survive in the wild due to an injury, or they were born in captivity and have never learned how to fend for themselves. These animals are on the borderland; they are not pets, but they are also no longer able to be wild. They need a place to be cared for in order to survive. Presented by Jen Lahey, this program will explore our relationships and connection with animals, both wild and domestic pet species. It will also talk about how the animals came to be with us, which discusses our responsibilities to other species, both wild and non-wild alike. 


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.
