Most programs offered in-person with limited attendance. Some include a virtual option. See program descriptions for details at www.carboneec.org/publicprograms. Additional information is also on CCEEC’s Facebook page.

Registration for events is taken by phone only. To register, call 570-645-8597.

CCEEC is located at 151 E. White Bear Drive, Summit Hill. The center building is open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekends.

Protecting the birds

As a visitor, you can help protect the birds kept at CCEEC from bird flu.

Bird flu, also known as highly pathogenic avian influenza, is a virus that harms wild and domestic birds.

The risk to people is low, but the disease can kill hawks, eagles and other birds.

On your next visit, please:

• Stay outdoors and visit the birds along the boardwalk first

• Come inside to see our building and displays after that

• Do not return to the boardwalk after your time inside

If you have chickens, ducks, turkeys or other birds at home, or if you’re visiting to bring a sick bird for rehabilitation, the center asks you not to visit on the boardwalk at all.

Plant swap

The center will hold a plant swap from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on May 14.

This is a great opportunity for new and veteran gardeners alike to save money, and to meet and talk with each other for planting tips and tricks. No registration is required. Native plants are preferred but not required, but please no invasive species allowed.

Yoga with Lori

CCEEC volunteer and yoga instructor Lori Wolf offers gentle flow yoga appropriate for everyone at 1 p.m. on May 22.

This session is planned for indoors, so participation will be limited to allow for social distancing. Those interested should register by phone.

Wildflower walk

Volunteer Naturalist Michael Blacketter leads participants on an easy walking trek to search for wildflowers in bloom at 10 a.m. on June 11. June is the ideal time for finding daisies, milkweed, wild phlox and more.

Binoculars and field guides available on loan or bring your own. Sturdy, waterproof footwear recommended.

Please register by phone.
