SUMMARY:Prairie Ridge StoryWalk: Are You a Ladybug?
DESCRIPTION:Visit Prairie Ridge for our next StoryWalk® featuring Are You a Ladybug?\, by Judy Allen and Tudor Humphries.  Our story begins just inside our entry gates and will take you on a short summer-friendly trail as you learn about ladybugs.  Can you find any in the prairie as you explore? \nBe sure to wear closed-toed shoes that can get muddy\, appropriate dress for the weather\, and bring a water bottle. Trails are mulch\, dirt or grass and small hills are included — trail strollers or baby carriers are recommended for our smallest visitors. Bring a picnic and enjoy the day (but please pack out your trash!). \nThis StoryWalk® will be available from July 10–31 each day we are open\, weather pending.  Prairie Ridge is open 9am-4pm Tuesday-Saturday; closed on Sundays and Mondays. \nWe strongly encourage those who have not yet been vaccinated for COVID-19 to continue wearing masks and practicing social distancing while visiting our facilities. \nFace coverings are recommended while near others or in the restroom building for: \n\nChildren between the ages of 5 and 12\nIndividuals who are not fully vaccinated\n\nIf you are experiencing symptoms of illness\, we ask that you postpone your visit. \nThis activity is FREE and no registration is required. \nThe StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier\, Vermont\, and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.  StoryWalk® is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson.

SUMMARY:Building NC Communities Resilient to Extreme Precipitation
DESCRIPTION:This program has been canceled.  We are still accepting registrations for the 7/12 evening session. \nNorth Carolina experiences extreme weather\, from extreme heat to flooding.  You can help scientists by monitoring extreme precipitation events as a citizen scientist!  Join us to participate in the Citizen Science\, Civics\, and Resilient Communities (CSCRC) project and learn everything you need to know about extreme precipitation\, its impact on our communities\, and how you can help gather data for resilience planners who can use your data to help make our communities more resilient to extreme weather events! \nThis project includes three parts: \n\nAttend a one-hour introduction to the hazards of extreme precipitation in North Carolina and training in the Community Collaborative Rain\, Hail\, and Snow citizen science project.  You’ll hear from meteorologists with the NC State Climate Office and walk away with a concrete way that you can help mitigate the hazards of extreme precipitation in our state by measuring weather conditions at your own home.\nAttend a national forum on Wednesday\, July 14 from 5:30-7:30pm.  This forum is led by the Museum of Science in Boston and will cover how extreme precipitation events impact the people living in an area and how we can improve our resiliency.\nReport data to the CoCoRaHS condition monitoring at least 20 different days before August 14.\n\nAnyone who completes all three parts of the project will receive a free CoCoRaHS rain gauge so that you can continue collecting valuable data useful to meteorologists and other scientists\, resilience planners\, civil engineers\, and more!  The gauge is an approximately $50 value and provides a concrete way that you can help become a part of the solution as we work toward building communities that are resilient to extreme precipitation events in North Carolina. \nThis program is eligible for 4.5 hours of Criteria III credit toward the NC Environmental Education Certification Program.
