ANSONIA - The Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center, 10 Deerfield Road, will host a variety of activities in March.
WINTER ASTRONOMY: Lunar Sketching – March 10, 7 p.m.
Come to Ansonia’s darkest location for some fun viewing the moon with Bob Carruthers and the New Haven Astronomical Society.
Get a chance to see the waxing gibbous moon’s surface through Bob’s TV camera and learn to sketch its craters. Bring a clipboard and pencil.
Class size is limited to 12; please register in advance. Free.
PET LOSS GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP – March 14, 1 p.m.
Losing a beloved animal can be tragic and a very emotional time for humans. There are numerous resources to turn to for the loss of a human loved one; however, there are limited options for when we lose an animal.
Susan Wilson has created this support group for those who have lost an animal or have one in the process of moving on. Sessions are free; donations appreciated.
JOSEPH FIRECROW: Native American Flute Player – March 12, 2 p.m.
“The natural beauty of the flute evokes very powerful emotions. The traditional flute is social, not ceremonial, in nature, and should always be treated with that in mind and spirit.” Joseph FireCrow, a Grammy Award winner and renowned Native American flutist, inspires such emotions with his beautiful music. Together we will enjoy this Sunday afternoon relaxing and listening in the beauty of the Nature Center’s natural surroundings.
Fee: $5 per person; please call to register.
SPRING EQUINOX DRUMMING – March 18, 6 p.m.
Let’s wake up the earth gently as we make music together by the fire. Dress for the outdoors. Adults and children are welcome. Bring your own drum or borrow one from us. Free, but bring a canned good for Spooner House. Please call to register.
ANIMAL TRACKS AND TRACES – March 25, 2 p.m.
Follow the signs and tracks and become an animal detective. On our hike discover the clues of the animals that inhabit our forest and fields. We will teach you how to put together these clues to tell their story. Make a plaster cast for your own collection. Fee: $7; please register in advance.
To register call 203-736-1053.
