(Chelsea Update would like to thank Tom Hodgson and the Waterloo Natural History Association for the information and photo in this column.)
The Waterloo Natural History Association is producing a new audio-visual program for the Gerald E. Eddy Discovery Center. The program will tell the park story including its history and the recreational opportunities currently available.
The park photo collection has many images of flora and fauna, but could use more of people using the park. So if you have some digital images of you, your family or organization using the Waterloo Recreation Area for hiking, fishing, camping, boating, hunting, beach going, skiing, bird watching, mushroom collecting, berry picking, etc. please send them as attachments to an email to park interpreter Katie McGlashen at [email protected].
This program will be seen by thousands of Discovery Center visitors every year and will also be taken on the road to local service clubs and other organizations. We would like the images by Dec. 1.
The Discovery Center currently has a nine projector slide program to tell the park story. Unfortunately, slide projectors and slides are now obsolete. The projectors are no longer manufactured and replacement parts and bulbs are hard to come by. As a result, the program has not been shown for several years.
