The Thornton Burgess Green Briar Nature Center

presents

The Green Meadow Forest Experience & Menagerie

 

The Thornton Burgess Green Briar Nature Center in East Sandwich presents the new Green Meadow Forest Experience and Live Animal Menagerie on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays!  Peter and his friends are back at the Green Meadow Forest! Visit the storybook world of Peter Rabbit, Grandfather Frog, Reddy Fox, Mrs. Quack, Billy Mink, and the many other characters that internationally known children’s author, Thornton W. Burgess, created at the turn of the 20th Century. 

 

The Green Meadow Forest experience resurrects the Thornton W. Burgess legacy as an environmentalist, conservationist, and author of over 170 children’s books and dozens of special animal characters. His characters come to life through the illustrations of renowned artist Harrison Cady. You can play with Mr. and Mrs. Peter Rabbit in their Rabbit Hollow, fish with Billy Mink, try Plinko with Happy Jack Squirrel and enjoy other activities during your visit. Visitors will become familiar with the animals native to the area, their habitat and how they were portrayed in Burgess’s stories. The Menagerie, our live animal display, highlights our bunnies, and we also have environmentally accurate habitats for some of the smaller woodland creatures.
