2:30 PM - 3:00 PM - Green Kids Theatre Company Presents 'Wild Wild Wilderness'
Wild Wild Wilderness demonstrates the connections between habitat, wildlife, and human activity. Participants are left with an understanding of -and empathy for- the plants, animals, and people we don't see who are affected by our actions. The purpose of this program is to celebrate our wilderness areas while empowering young people to make positive choices towards protecting them. The academic and environmental focus is on habitat and wildlife conservation, and enjoying the outdoors.
The Play is a dynamic and whacky story of one kid's accidental effect on a nearby forest and its creatures, performed by a single storyteller and armfuls of adorable puppets.
