About Nature Play & Learn at Wateke by the Water

Join the Trustees’ Mobile Adventures at the Wateke by the Water indigenous arts and culture celebration at Fort Tabor in New Bedford for FREE nature play & learning!

Saturday 7/26 from 1-4pm grab your binoculars and bring your curiosity – because this week we’re Birding! From tiny chickadees to soaring hawks, we’ll explore the wild world of local birds through hands-on activities, games, and guided exploration.

Get up close with real feathers, skulls, and eggs, try your hand at bird call ID, and even build your own nest! Play like a woodpecker, flap through a migration race, and see how many birds you can spot during our mini birding adventure.

Activities include:
• Bird Exploration Station – Examining feathers, eggs, skulls and calls
• Nest Building Lab
• Birding with Binoculars
• Woodpecker Games
• Migration Relay Race
• …and more feathered fun!

Whether you’re a seasoned birder or just curious about the birds outside your window, this week is packed with sky-high discovery for all ages!
