(WNY News Now) – Discover the magic of wildlife and seasonal change at Audubon Community Nature Center’s free First Sunday Story Time on December 1 – a perfect way to engage young minds with nature!
Jamestown, N.Y. – Books are powerful tools to connect children to nature and establish a strong foundation for their educational journey.
At Audubon Community Nature Center’s First Sunday Story Time on 12:30–1 p.m. on December 1, you can go on a literary adventure with animals through habitats and seasons and discover new things with every page.
Nature Center doors open at 12:20 p.m. for the event before opening to the public at 1 p.m.
After Story Time, you can visit the animals, explore the interactive exhibits and indoor Nature Play Area before going outdoors to visit Sara the Spotted Salamander. Measuring roughly 14 feet from her nose to the tip of her tail, Sara joined Tank, the 1,500-pound concrete turtle, five years ago. Both were designed, created, and donated to Audubon by Mike Whitmire of Whitmire Outdoor Living in Starbrick, Pa.
First Sunday Story Time is free as is Sunday admission.
Reservations for Story Time are requested by Saturday, November 30. To reserve your space, call the Nature Center during open hours at (716) 569-2345 or go to AudubonCNC.org and click through Programs and Events.
Participation is limited to 15. Walk-ins are welcome if there is room.
