Join Leah McCluskey from UMaine 4-H at the Blue Hill Public Library on Wednesday, November 18 from 3:30-4:30 p.m. to explore the challenges invasive species create for coastal ecosystems through a hands-on population survey. Participants will investigate how invasive green crabs affect native marine life and discover how human interventions can help protect and restore local habitats.

Coastal Kids Science Series with 4-H is a monthly program where youth can dive deep into the natural wonder of water. From learning about amazing marine animal adaptations, to exploring the roles of Maine’s working waterfront – we’ve got something for everyone! This program is free and cosponsored by the Blue Hill Public Library and the UMaine Cooperative Extension, your doorway to University of Maine expertise.
