The National Heritage Museum presents master storyteller Diane Edgecomb in “Tales for the Earth,” a program for children and families, Sunday, January 18, 2008 at 2 p.m. “Tales for the Earth” wittily explores topics such as water conservation, recycling and wildlife protection in entertaining and educational ways, and is suitable for children ages 6–10.

Snow date is Sunday, January 20. Call 781-861-6559 for information, or visit the web site at www.nationalheritagemuseum.org.

Diane presents stories such as 'What Now, Cloacina?' her hilarious water conservation story about a water sprite who travels through the sewage system in search of her pond. The Boy Who Loved the Swamp, is based on the true story of a 5th grade student who saves his favorite nature spot from development. In addition, Native legends and contemporary tales explore ways to foster a whole Earth ethic. What shines through the entire presentation is a love and respect for our place in nature, and the message of how we can make a difference.
