Launched in 2016, The North Carolina Arboretum’s ecoEXPLORE (Experiences Promoting Learning Outdoors for Research and Education) initiative is an innovative program for children in grades K-8 that combines natural science exploration with kid-friendly technology to help foster children’s interests in science and scientific careers. Children are encouraged to get outdoors, make photographic observations of plants and wildlife, and upload their findings online, in order to earn prizes, badges and invitations to special events. Observations can be made in the wild, in a participant’s backyard or at an official ecoEXPLORE “HotSpot,” a designated area that serves as a frequent hub for wildlife.
Participation in the ecoEXPLORE program is FREE, and parents or guardians can sign up their child online at ecoexplore.net

Everybody Says Meow! Author Reading
Constance Lombardo reads her new picture book, Everybody Says Meow… with audience participation!
Everybody Says Meow! Or do they? Fans of Sandra Boynton and of Jules Feiffer’s classic Bark, George will meow, bark, and ribbit when they hear this hilarious picture book about a waggish group of adorable animals that just cannot follow one simple instruction.
Constance Lombardo is an author, illustrator, and cat expert who can say meow in several languages. She is the creator of a middle grade series, Mr. Puffball, about a clever group of Hollywood cats. Stick Dog creator Tom Watson called Mr. Puffball “freaky, furry, and first-rate fun!” When she isn’t drawing or writing, Constance likes to visit the many waterfalls in Western North Carolina or rummage through Asheville’s local indie bookstores. Plus, she likes carrot cake. Visit her at www.constancelombardo.com.
