Sunset Paddle: Creatures of the Night
Join us for a sunset paddle on the Little and Grasse rivers, searching for nocturnal bats, crepuscular beavers, and other nighttime creatures! In the spooky spirit following Halloween weekend, we'll keep an eye out for animals active in the evening along the river and learn some nighttime ecology. Free and open to all ages and all ability levels, bring your own boat or borrow one from us. Don't forget a headlamp if you have one and some warm layers! Meet at the Little River Boat Launch on Park Street/Rt.
Autumnal puddles
Even puddles in autumn look pretty! The reflection of clear blue sky and autumnal foliage in a puddle can be heavenly!
A beautiful day to walk at Nicandri Nature Center
Today was gorgeous. I love the days when we spontaneously decide to get outside and enjoy our nearby trails. There were so many things to see, both views of the landscape and colorful trees, as well as tiny green mosses and fungi showing off. I'm so happy we have a resource like the Nicandri Nature Center only 20 minutes away from our house. The kids love both the trails and the indoor educational center. We are lucky.
