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 are 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.

Creepy Crawlers

Creepy Crawlers will be held from 10 to 11:30 a.m. on the following Mondays at the center. Open to all 2, 3 and 4-year-olds, each session focuses on some aspect of the natural world. Children participate in age-appropriate games, crafts, stories and other activities.

Programs are free for members, and a $5 per-child donation is requested of nonmembers. Please register by phone.
