Join us for s'mores and funtastic fungi facts at Wachtmeister Field Station on outer Park Street on June 20, 7-9pm. Come learn about the fascinating fungi that are hiding all around you.

Join Nature Up North at the Wachtmeister Field Station on outer Park St. for the first community campfire of the year!

Running from 7-9pm, stop by the field station for s'mores and a trip down the Kip trail to look for amphibians. The Kip trail cuts through a flooded forest with vernal (temporary) pools that form each spring from snowmelt and rain. These are the perfect habitats for amphibians like frogs and salamanders. Take a walk with us to flip over rocks and fallen trees to see if any are hiding underneath!
