Greendrinks Helps Get Kids in Nature
It’s time to think about back to school, so Greendrinks is teaming up with Hirundo Wildlife Refuge to highlight their Kids in Nature Program and soon-to-open Kids Trail! Join us for our next virtual event on Tuesday, August 10th from 5-8 pm. This event will be an online social gathering like the ones we’ve been doing recently. Attendees are encouraged to safely gather with friends.
Hirundo’s Kids in Nature program is all about getting kids out into nature and creating fun, educational experiences. As Hirundo notes, spending time in nature improves kids’ mental function, sleep, emotional and physical health, and outlook. Hirundo will also be opening its new Kids Trail later this fall. It will feature animal habitat with signage for kids as well as playscapes. For more information about Hirundo’s programs for kids: https://www.hirundomaine.org/kids-in-nature.
If feasible, we’d ask you to consider donating your usual $5 or more, and all of the money that we raise on August 10th and for a few weeks after will be passed on to Hirundo to help fund their Kids in Nature program.

We’re also selling hard copies of our Bangor Area Trails map for $5, with all proceeds going to the same organization; to purchase the map, see our PayPal site: https://www.paypal.com/instantc…/checkout/2QABGAWQVGS26….
We also love it when you let us know that you’re attending the event! Be sure to post messages, photos, and short videos on the event wall to let us know that you’re attending. Group shots are encouraged (again, safely).
Finally, be sure to watch when the Bangor Greendrinks Chair, Mark, goes live for “the talk” around 6:30 pm on August 10th. This is the “Facebook Live” portion of the evening.
See you at the next virtual event when we highlight Hirundo’s Kids in Nature program!
Cheers!
The Bangor Greendrinks Familia
