Libraries Love Lakes: Spring Event!

The Wells Village Library and the Lake St. Catherine Association (LSCA) are excited to host the Rutland County Audubon Society (RCAS) at the Wells Lakeside Park on Little Lake, 1268 North Street in Wells, on Saturday, May 25th at 11 AM.

Kathleen Guinness, Co-Vice President & Secretary of RCAS will talk about birds you'll see at Lake St. Catherine. Topics will include spring migratory routes, how the birds find their way back to LSC, and the effects of human impacts to bird and watershed health.

We’ll also discuss the new loon nesting platform recently installed on the lake, and all attendees will have a chance to win a framed loon photo taken and donated by Lake St. Catherine photographer extraordinaire Karen Velsor. Also, the first 20 families to arrive will receive an event themed kit of on-topic surprises.

Libraries Love Lakes is an outreach project which pairs school and public libraries with lake scientists to provide collaborative programming emphasizing the importance of lakes in our everyday lives. This will be the second event of four that are planned for the Libraries Love Lakes Program for 2024. We’re planning two more seasonally themed events for summer and fall.

This and future Libraries Love Lakes events are made possible by a grant from the Lake Champlain Basin Program (LCBP) and NEIWPCC.
