Smokey Bear & His Wildlife Friends

Join us on April 15th, 2023 at 10:30 am for a FREE IN-PERSON event: Smokey Bear & His Wildlife Friends! Back by popular demand, Smokey Bear will be returning to the Museum with some of his wildlife friends! First, we will meet live birds of prey, and learn how we can all protect these regal birds by being fire safe. Then the big man himself will visit the Museum, Smokey Bear, who will pose for pictures with visitors. Kids will also meet a DEC Forest Ranger and learn about their job and their equipment. Finally, kids can complete a forest animal-themed craft project. It’s going to be a wild time at the Museum, so don’t miss it! All activities are FREE and will be outdoors. However, in the event of rain, we will move the program indoors. FREE admission to the Museum will also be offered to all who attend this special event. RESERVATIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR THIS EVENT. This event is made possible by a generous grant award from the Museum’s Super Saturdays sponsor: Hudson River Bank and Trust Co. Foundation General support for the Museum is generously provided by: The Firefighters Association of the State of New York (FASNY) and the FASNY Foundation
