Water Matters at Pine Bluff, Stow - August 13, 2008

Held on the shores of Lake Boon and sponsored by OAR, a playful skit, narrated by Amanda Dalton and Amelia Mitter-Burke entertained families with the story of the daily life of Mr. Goodfellow (Dan Anderson), who tries to lead a conscientious life but doesn?t always know how. Goodfellow?s sincere but misguided actions endeared viewers as he learns practical lessons about environmentally conscious lawn care, boat use, and how to control the spread of pollution and invasive species in their neighborhood.
After the skit, a Eleanor MacLellan from Mass Audubon displayed some live animals from local ecosystems so that the audience could discover the animals up close.
