Our second campfire of the summer includes our nocturnal owl pals! We will spend about 30 minutes learning about North Country owls, how to spot them and what their calls sound like. We will also enjoy a roaring campfire and snack on some treats! Basic s'mores supplies will be provided. If we are lucky we may even hear an owl while we sit by the fire. Bring your favorite owl encounter to tell around the fire. This event is free and perfect for all ages. Youth under 13 must be accompanied by an adult.

The beautiful North Country Summer has finally begun! We have seen so many plants, fungi, and animal friends recently.

On Saturday, June 25th from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm join us at Wachtmeister Field Station off Route 27 in Canton. Together, we will practice identifying some of our North Country flora and fauna.
