Squam Lakes Natural Science Center invites visitors to engage deeply with New
Hampshire’s native wildlife through its new Species Spotlight series. Each week highlights one species in the
Science Center’s care. Docents and staff will share their unique stories and discuss daily enrichment which
includes novel items engaging the animal’s natural senses and abilities.
“Every animal has a story,” says Iain MacLeod, Executive Director. “Our ambassadors can’t survive in the wild,
but through their stories, visitors develop empathy and a stronger connection to nature.”

 Weekend of October 4–5: Black Bear – Learn about Black Bears and their enrichment activities.

Each spotlight includes an explanation of daily animal enrichment, docents to share stories and answer
questions, plus engaging facts and displays. All activities are included with trail admission; last entry at 3:30 p.m.

extraordinary.
