So, #MaineAudubon is no longer putting together #NatureBackpacks for #NatureExploration . However, they were kind enough to share their printed resources as PDFs as well as the lists of items for the different kits (Birding, Insects, Plants, etc) with me. I'll be sharing those resources for the next #SolarPunkSunday (converting the PDFs to JPGs for posting), as well as #ToyLibraries and other kid-related stuff. Then the week after that, I'll be posting about upcoming #EarthDay2026 events! Follow the #SolarPunkSunday hashtag for those topics and much, much more...!

Event Type: #NatureExploration, Special Event

"The Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year-- a day of beginnings, of storytelling, of reflection, of celebrating and more. For ancient astronomers, it was the day that the sun appeared at its lowest in the Northern Hemisphere sky and at its farthest southern point over Earth. It's also the day that the Earth and all of us are closest to the sun. Join naturalist Jeanne Christie for a walk to the shore at Kettle Cove to learn a bit of ancient history, astronomy, stories of past cultures, and to reflect and celebrate the beginning of the longest night of the year."
