| The Caribbean Field office will hold outreach activities, including a festival, to attract people to nature by appealing to the aesthetic, cultural and spiritual values of nature. El Merendero park is managed by the Municipality of Quebradilla and is the perfect backdrop for the event, as it is one of the few places where the Harlequin butterfly can be found during its early development stages. It also has several federally listed species or is current range for several federal listed species, candidates, and species of concern. During the event we will have a full-day of exhibits, caterpillar explorations, artistic activities, presentations and entertainment. We will make the event open to the general public. There will be activities for kids (transects, hands on type stuff) and adults (trails). There will be 4 to 5 stations [15 mins each]; a biologist boot camp where kids and adults can do field work/activities. There will be presentations on endangered species. Funding will go to an interpretative sign on endangered species at this location. Neighbors to the park will be invited. A renowned folk artist will do a demonstration of wood carving. |
