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!

Join us for another installment of our Community Campfire series! The topic for this campfire is edible plants. Departing from the Wachtmeister Field Station, we'll explore nearby trails for a few identifiable and edible plants that can be found around the North Country. Following our exploration, we'll return to the campfire for s'mores, and for the brave, a taste of what they collected.

Stop by between 7:00pm - 9:00pm on Friday, June 19th!

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.
