Program at Kellogg Environmental Center in Derby to feature rodents and more



DERBY - Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection announces a family friendly program, Lagomorphs and Rodents.  
Join staff educators at 10 a.m. April 15 at Kellogg Environmental Center to learn about mice, squirrels, beavers and their cousins – lagomorphs – which include rabbits and hares.
Now that spring is here and warm weather is right around the corner, we welcome many outdoor activities and see more wildlife.  
Learn about common species that are often overlooked, that have interesting stories and are important to the environment.  
Learn the importance of conservation efforts for the New England cottontail and ways you can help protect its numbers and increase its habitat.  

The program includes examination of bones and skulls along with a hike for wildlife evidence and animal observations.  Dress for the weather and wear footwear for possible muddy conditions.  
The program is offered free of charge; donations are welcome.  
Kellogg Environmental Center is located at 500 Hawthorne Ave.  
For information, directions, or to register, call 203-734-2513 or contact Donna Kingston at donnakingston@ct.gov.
