Third Saturday Walks


Through the Eyes of a Naturalist

Join Dean Thompson (local writer and author of Natural History Nuggets, and BrainFodder, Ruminations of a Naturalist on Substack) for a leisurely walk to observe the Elfin Forest through the eyes of a naturalist. We will learn about naturalists and how they observe, notice, wonder, and most importantly, interpret the many natural phenomena our area offers.
