In recent years, we explored Woodsom Farm to look for grassland birds and learn how to identify them in their habitat, discussing the natural history of the birds we encounter. Visit The Facebook Page for details. Moonlight Paddle!Join us at Lake Gardner for a beautiful moonlight paddle on Friday, September 16th. Our event takes place under the "Long", or "Corn" full moon. and we will meet in the Lake Gardner beach at 7 to launch our kayaks, canoes or paddleboards so that we can get our paddles in the water. Moonrise is at 7, and it takes about an hour for the moon to climb over Powow Hill, so we'll have time to paddle leisurely up to Camp Kent Nature Center, exploring the shoreline as we go before we witness the moon appear above our familiar hilltop. Please note that this is a BYOB, or, Bring Your Own Boat event and this is a dusk event, which means DEET mosquito repellent is recommended. This event requires clear skies and will be canceled if overcast or stormy.
