Hello everyone,
We are using some ARPA money for these backpacks to supplement our
circulating STEM kits.  Here is the contact information if you would also
like to purchase for your library.

*Maine Audubon Nature Explorer Backpacks *are designed to encourage
families to explore the outdoors together while learning about wildlife and
habitat. Each durable L.L.Bean backpack includes family-friendly scientific
tools and resources, along with a custom-made user’s guide that walks the
borrower through each item in the backpack and provides activities, games,
book lists, and more. You’ll find tips for families on how to enjoy nature,
nature journal templates, and even ways to use your smartphone to connect
with wildlife. We currently offer three themed packs: *Plants, Wildlife*,
and *Birds*. Packs are available to purchase as a full set ($350) or
individually ($150 for birds, $105 for wildlife, and $95 for plants). For
more information, please contact Molly Woodring at
