One of Westport CT’s gems is Earthplace, The Nature Discovery Center. Designed to educate the citizens of Westport Connecticut about all aspects of nature, Earthplace has 62 acres of trails and wildlife sanctuaries. In addition, Earthplace’s mission encompasses education about nature through a myriad of programs. Children in Westport Connecticut can become involved with Earthplace via their preschool or summer camp as well as the classes that are offered.
On the evening of February 8, 2008 from 6 pm to 8 pm, Earthplace will be holding a Dinner for the Critters event. Proceeds will benefit all the animals of Earthplace. The evening will begin with a pasta dinner followed by a presentation by children, specifically the junior curators, and the staff naturalists. Dessert will follow.
Dinner attendees will get to meet the various residents of Earthplace including birds, turtles, snakes, guinea pigs, ferrets, and rabbits.
Visit the Earthplace website for more details. Advance purchase of tickets is required. Tickets are $15 per person.
