Join Nature Up North Environmental Education Intern Josie Dittman for a walk to Lampson Falls about local moss and lichen! These organisms are much more important than they may first appear, and help form the base of the larger ecosystems we so often get to enjoy.

Starting at 2pm, we'll set a leisurely pace to Lampson Falls while discussing the difference between moss and lichen, where we expect to find them growing, and the roles that each play in our broader ecosystem..

Come to the Indian Creek Nature Center for a birding session focused on the birds we expect to see all winter long, and a quick craft at the end!

After our walk, we'll gather at the pavilion to create suet bird feeders to bring home and help each of our backyard birds find the food they need to prepare for winter.
