SAUGUS – Saugus Action Volunteers for the Environment (SAVE) is pleased to sponsor a free live raptor show as part of Breakheart Reservation’s Annual Fall Family Festival on Saturday, Sept. 27 from10 a.m.-2 p.m. Five shows will run every 20 minutes.
Working together with our community partners, the Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR) and the Friends of Breakheart, SAVE sees this as a wonderful opportunity for everyone to view local wildlife up close and personal, as well as learn more about these wonderful animals. These environmental education programs about raptors will be presented by MA Audubon.
Five 20-minute sessions will be offered to the public at the Breakheart Christopher P. Dunne Visitors Center, starting at 11 a.m. The other times offered are 11:30 a.m., 12 p.m., 12:30 p.m., and 1 p.m. The entire Festival will run from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., with a number of activities and fun events available.
SAVE will also sponsor another “It’s New To You” SWAP again this year at the Festival. The SWAP – an effort to help keep still usable items out of the waste stream – will be held from 10 a.m.-1:30 p.m. The SWAP is part of SAVE’s continuing efforts to increase recycling by re-purposing still usable goods.
The SWAP is another free event – no money, just a simple swap. You can bring items or take items; you do not have to do both. Bring usable items in good condition to the SWAP, typically those things you no longer want but that are too good to throw away, and perhaps find a treasure or two to take home with you. (Please, do not bring items that require special disposal.)
