North Hempstead Parks & Rec. Announce Live Animal Show with Ranger Powers

North Hempstead, NY – Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth, the Town Board, and the Department of Parks and Recreation are excited to announce that “Ranger Powers’ Live Animal Show” is coming to Clark Botanic Garden. The event, to be held on April 19 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., gives kids the opportunity to interact with live animals. Admission is $5.

Ranger Eric Powers engages children in educational discussions about animals, nature, and the environment, and introduces them to hedgehogs, skinks, tarantulas, tortoises, and snakes.

“The addition of this show to our already outstanding Parks Department activity lineup promises to motivate our youth to understand the importance of the environment in a fun and engaging way,” said Supervisor Bosworth. “There’s nothing like a hands-on experience to help children learn.”

Ranger Powers operates the Long Island-based company “Your Connection to Nature,” which aims to increase young people’s appreciation for nature through intriguing educational activities, trips and workshops. Look for Ranger Powers in a new nature series on North Hempstead TV that teaches kids about preserving the environment.
