On Saturday the 18th, at 3:00 pm, join us at Hart’s Falls Preserve for a nature walk and wildflower craft. We will be taking advantage of the beautiful surroundings and the un-mowed lawns by making wildflower bouquets, but with a twist. Using cardboard, we will draw out a vase for our bouquet and stick flowers onto the cardboard, making a very pretty and organized bouquet. We will also be walking to Harts Falls, finishing at the beautiful waterfall.

Avoiding trouble in the woods!
Learn the basics of a compass to conquer your fear of getting lost while outdoors. While navigating the Kip Tract, we'll also discuss some common animal signs to keep an eye out for and what animals to be weary of!

Join us for another installment of our Community Paddle series! This week, we return to the upper Little River to observe the many dragonflies, damselflies, butterflies, and water skimmers that can be found. We'll cover some basic ID and biology ahead of our paddle so we can more easily tell what we find. Which one of these species do you think is a true bug? You'll have to come to find out!

Join us for another installment of our Community Campfire series! The topic for this campfire is nature journaling.

Not the biggest fan of writing, but still want to get your thoughts and observations down on paper? Nature journaling is a different approach to record keeping and can help ground us in the moment. Led by our Summer Naturalist Cecily, this campfire will give you the skills to be an engaged and conscientious member of our natural community. No need to bring anything, we'll provide all the materials!

Join us for another installment of our Community Campfire series! The topic for this campfire is Earth-based art.

Inspired by the work of Andy Goldsworthy, best known for his use of natural materials in temporary artworks, our Summer Naturalist Laine will be leading us in creating our own pieces of temporary artwork.

Join us at the Wachtmeister Field Station at 7pm for the start of our campfire, and stick around after the activity for s'mores!
