Description
Come out to Island Falls for a day full of youth and family activities! A ranger from Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument will be on-site to answer questions about the eclipse and to hand out the Junior Ranger Eclipse Explorer booklet. Solar glasses will also be available on-site to safely view the eclipse.
We welcome you to join in on a 20 minute ranger talk, "Eclipsing the Sun: When Day Becomes Night". The ranger talk will cover the science behind how a solar eclipse happens and what to expect during a total eclipse. The talk will occur multiple times throughout the day.
