Total Eclipse on the Prairie
Monday, April 8, 2:30 p.m.
A total solar eclipse is a rare and spectacular phenomenon that occurs when the Moon blocks the Sun’s light completely. This eclipse will be the first total solar eclipse to be visible in the U.S. since August 21, 2017. We will have a front row seat for what is dubbed the Great North American Eclipse by media. So that we won’t impact sensitive plant populations in the prairie viewing area, including emerging spring wildflowers, we are limiting the amount of foot traffic for this event. Registration is limited to 35 people. Please call 567-376-0705 on or before Thursday, April 4 to register with name and number of individuals in your group.

Spring Bird Migration Hike
Wednesday, May 8, 9 a.m.
Birds are everywhere, all the time, doing fascinating things. Right now they are moving from their southerly winter retreats to spring nesting grounds and summer homes. Dress for the weather and bring your binoculars as we document the many species of birds that migrate to and through Northwest Ohio. All recorded species will be submitted to the international Great Backyard Bird Count.

Full Flower Moon Hike
Thursday, May 23, 7:30 p.m.
May’s full moon is commonly called the Flower Moon. Pack your flashlight and wear good walking shoes to walk the trails to look for spring wildflowers and listen for toad and frog calls in the moonlight. If the moon is behind the clouds, we will still enjoy a lantern hike through the woods.

First Day of Summer Sketch
Thursday, June 20, 3 p.m.
Pack your sketch pad, pencils, paints and other drawing materials to join us in the pollinator gardens for an hour of creativity. All skill-levels welcome. If we are lucky, Steve may be baking something delectable in the house that is a kitchen.
