Friendship bracelets are a lot like the friendships they stand for. They remind us how important it is to care for and protect the things we love. Just like these bracelets show trust, loyalty, and strong connections, we should also take care of nature, especially animals and plants that are in danger of disappearing.
Take care of species at risk is showing respect for the special connections in nature, the same way we show love for our friends with bracelets. Both friendships and nature need time, care, and effort to keep them strong.
When we help protect animals and the environment, we build a stronger connection between people and the Earth; just like how friendship bracelets bring friends closer together. Visit Honey Harbour to learn about species at risk like the Blandings Turtle, Monarch Butterfly and Massasauga Rattlesnake. Follow up your learnings by spending time creating friendship bracelets to take home along with your own plantable butterfly seed paper.

Dudley’s Day at Home
“What does Dudley do all day while we’re away?” Sam wonders. Mom explains that Dudley does ordinary dog things: he eats, naps, guards the house, and plays. But in Sam’s mind, Dudley’s day at home is anything but ordinary! Sam imagines Dudley activities – which don’t quite match Mom’s explanations. Linda tells us this very funny story!
