Conservation & Cinema: Lessons from Jellystone
April 18 @ 12:00 pm–2:00 pm
Today's Program:
Is it possible that a bear with a taste for picnic baskets is actually a conservation expert in disguise? Bring your children to the Squam Lakes Association to help us kick off National Park Week! We'll start our program with a "Ranger Briefing" on the National Park Service mission followed by an interactive screening of the 2010 film Yogi Bear. While the movie plays, children will get to sketch their favorite plants/animals and use "Ranger Report Cards" to grade Yogi’s outdoor behavior. We’ll finish by exploring the real-life "Jellystones" found throughout Holderness and the Squam watershed. Families will head home with the knowledge to be local rangers and protectors of our beautiful natural spaces!
For parents who want to learn more about this movie prior to our event, you can have a look at the film's IMDb page using the link provided below.
