Derby Neck Library to host Animal Embassy program via Zoom

DERBY - Derby Neck Library is excited to welcome back Animal Embassy! 

Join us over Zoom to learn all about what happens between our own backyards and the great Long Island Sound! 

We'll learn all about familiar animals like pigs, owls, and rabbits, but maybe some more unfamiliar ones like pea hens and chinchillas, too.

Derby Neck Library to host Animal Embassy program via Zoom

What is your habitat and who are your “wild neighbors”?

Although we talk about the habitats of other animals, few of us contemplate our own. We are a part of a diverse community of plants and animals particular to where we live. 

Each species has a unique ability to play a supportive role in their community. Among our “wild neighbors” we have the opportunity to choose the supportive role we play as stewards to our habitat and community. 

You'll get to meet some amazing ambassadors, including a giant gecko, Sinaloan milk snake, eclectus parrot, leopard tortoise, red eyed tree frogs, spotted salamander, chinchillas, and our newest addition a fennec fox. 

Through these ambassadors, we'll discover some of their local counterparts and explore the vital contributions each would make to the environment had they been born free. We take a lot from the Earth -explore some ways we can give back.

Registration is required for this event so you can receive the Zoom link – call Derby Neck Library at 203-734-1492 or sign up for our Youth Services mailing list here https://forms.gle/EUp2yRBLFNJVMnz17 to register.
