Don’t miss our popular nature series with educators and Master Naturalists Pat Milliken and Gil Pielin! Pat & Gil have created a series of programs designed to put people in tune with nature. Participants will learn from this duo of retired high school teachers about all things nature in these hands-on workshops. This is an adult-focused program series, for ages 16 and up. Please register. Space is limited.

March’s Topic: Let’s Make Sense of Senses! REGISTER HERE

If we place an elephant, mouse, robin, owl, bat, rattlesnake, spider mosquito, bumblebee, and YOU in a large room, how would each differ in sensing its place in the environment? Let’s explore how particular organisms experiences the world through their senses—and how  they are different than our own. Get your ‘sniffers’ ready!

April’s Topic: Hey, You Old Fossil! REGISTER HERE

What IS a fossil and how old do they have to be? Fossils were once-living things and examples include bones, shells, exoskeletons, stone imprints of animals, objects preserved in amber, hair, petrified wood and more. You’ll get to see some amazing examples from Pat’s collection!

May’s Topic: Wild Edibles! Let’s Eat! REGISTER HERE

In this workshop we will examine plants growing in and around our yards, both native and invasive. We will look at which parts are edible and (depending upon their availability) we will have some samples to taste!
