On Sunday, August 4 at 4:30 p.m. the Hudson Highlands Nature Museum will be featuring The Mastodon. Come join environmental educator Pam Golben at the Wildlife Education Center, 25 Boulevard, Cornwall-on-Hudson (indoor program) to learn about these Ice Age relatives of modern elephants. Through a brief slide show, learn the difference between a mammoth and a mastodon, what food mastodons ate and why more mastodon fossils been found in Orange County than elsewhere. “Mastodons and mammoths roamed New York at the end of the Ice Age and although they seem similar, they had some very interesting differences,” said Golben. Participants will view artifacts and the Museum’s Mastodon Exhibit. Create a mastodon craft to take home. This exhibit was supported by Orange and Rockland Utilities, the New York Council for the Humanities and through a grant and the loan of artifacts from the office of the Orange County Historian. Admission: $7/Adult, $5/Children. Museum Members: $5/Adult, $3/Children. For information go to hhnaturemuseum.org or call 845-534-5506, ext. 204.
