Family Wildlife Hour
On Tuesday mornings at 10:30 AM in the summer (July and August) join us at the Research Station for a family program for all ages. Join Wildlife Rehabilitator Kelly Martin to take a short walk or hike on some of our trails, looking at native plants and animals. Then return to the classroom to get up-close with a few of Kelly's educational animals. This is a popular program and free for all - thanks to the generous support of our members and donors!

Every summer we host our annual benefit as a chance to celebrate our successes and gather the support of our friends and members for the future. As an independent non-profit nature preserve, we rely on the your support as members, donors, and volunteers to continue to serve our mission of protecting the watershed of Lake Myosotis and connecting people with nature.
