Our summer community campfire series is back!

Our first campfire of the year will be investigating the world of amphibians! Early June is the perfect time to find frogs, toads, salamanders, and more! The Kip Trail is the perfect ecosystem as well, with seasonal vernal pools all over the place and the Little River right next door. We're bound to find all sorts of critters.
