Acadia National Park staff and local scientists will present a free hands-on public workshop about bees, wasps, and ants on Sunday, August 1, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The workshop will take place at the Moore Auditorium, located on the campus of Acadia National Park's Schoodic Education and Research Center (SERC) in Winter Harbor, Maine. The workshop is being sponsored by the National Park Service and Acadia Partners for Science and Learning.
Dr. Cassie Gibbs, retired professor of entomology from the University of Maine, and Maine Entomologist Marcia Siebenmann, will lead the workshop and explore the habits, life history, and importance of bees, wasps, and ants. Participants will also go out into the field to collect specimens and come back to the lab to look at what they collected under microscopes. No previous experience is necessary!
This workshop is designed to be educational, fun, and family friendly. Local residents, teachers, students, business owners, and visitors are encouraged to participate in this free program.
Advance registration is required. Please RSVP to June Devisfruto at the Schoodic Education and Research Center at 207-288-1316 or june_devisfruto@nps.gov.
