Museum to host “belly botany”
The Hudson Highlands Nature Museum in Cornwall will host a program, “Belly Botany,” at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 21, in which adults and children ages 5 and older will lie on their bellies to discover what they can see in a square foot of nature. “While on your belly, you can only focus on what is in your small space,” explained Emily Nestlerode, who will lead the program. “This gives people a chance to explore and appreciate a whole other world living just below our feet.”
