Night of Environmental Science

Last night I visited St. Stephen Middle School to take part in a Night of Environmental Science.  This event let’s students, their siblings and parents get hands-on with New Brunswick’s environment.  I took along with me a collection of live marine invertebrates for students to touch and learn about, including hermit crabs, urchins, sea stars, a sea peach, a sand dollar and the star of the show, a baby lobster!  It is always great to give people the opportunity to learn about local animals firsthand.  Thank you to Science East for putting on this great event!

Students enjoying the animals!
