Clear up the myths about predators and learn their role in the ecosystem when Chewonki brings live and mounted predators to Freeport Community Library’s meeting room for a one-hour program. The presentation is best suited for kids ages 8+, but all kids who can sit and listen for an hour are welcome. The program is limited to the first 60 people.About the program: Scary, disgusting, wicked, vicious: predators have a rough reputation in our society. Chewonki’s program explores the many commonly held myths about predators and works to dispel them. Highlighting the remarkable adaptations that help predators find and consume their prey, the presentation will engage participants with a vivid slideshow, hands-on activities, and lively discussion.
Chewonki’s presenter will use the lens of food webs and natural cycles to explore problems faced by predators in our world, including examples of their decline throughout history due to habitat loss and human interference. A discussion of current events will emphasize the importance of predators in maintaining the world’s ecological balance.
A mounted coyote will help unite the dynamic issues connecting us to the predators in our landscape, and the concepts will really spring to life when the audience views several live non-releasable animals and observes some of their fascinating predatory adaptations. Striking, essential, advanced, magnificent: the image of predators re-examined.
This event is free and open to the public. For questions or directions to the Library, visit www.freeportlibrary.com or call 865-3307.
