For our last day with the Voluntown Youth Bureau Services Program, we talked about MARINE MAMMALS! 🐬Students discovered all the key traits that all marine mammals share, investigated marine mammal pelts and skulls, and got to meet Lucy the whale!! 🐳🌊

Happy #WorldBeeDay. The Farm Bill made pollinators and their habitat a priority for USDA, and authorized special consideration when determining payments for practices that promote pollinator habitat under the EQIP Program. #pollinators #habitat #healthy_habitat #bees
