Audubon Center plans a Green Halloween

Take your family to the Montezuma Audubon Center (MAC) on October 27 from noon to 3 to celebrate A Green Halloween.

At this free event children can fill out their Green Halloween Passport by participating in a scavenger hunt, making recycled paper, learning about skulls and creating bats and owls out of natural or recycled materials.

At 1 p.m. learn about the mysteries of bats with a NYSDEC wildlife biologist and at 2 p.m. can meet a live owl from the Spiritwalker Wildlife Rehab Center.

Throughout the afternoon families can make bat houses (a $13 materials fee is required) and Take the America Recycles Pledge! Children are encouraged to create and wear costumes made out of recycled or natural materials. Costumes can be made at home or can be pulled together from our Recyclables Table. Prizes will be awarded at 3 p.m. for the most creative costumes.

This event is co-sponsored by the Western Finger Lakes Authority (WFLA) and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC).

Call the Montezuma Audubon Center at 315.365.3588 with questions.

The new Montezuma Audubon Center is located two miles north of Savannah on State Route 89 and is part of the 36,000 acre Montezuma Wetlands Complex (MWC).
