Want something fun to explore this spring? There are still a few openings for individual girls, NO GROUPS.

Come document the lively life at a vernal pool, investigate invasive species in the forest and meet women in Maine that are working in science!

This free series for girls will be an inspiring exploration of environmental science at the L. C. Bates Museum.

This Free series of programs for girls and their families are granted through Maine Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).

On Sunday March 9th at 1-3 PM we will be:
