Nature lovers age 55 and older are invited to join us for FREE coffee or tea and a cookie, a program or concert, and an optional opportunity to take a 45-60 minute guided tour of the Nature Center trails on one of our two access vehicles.
Featured program: Join visiting turtle expert, researcher, and professor, Dr. Jeff Tamplin from the University of Northern Iowa as he explains the trials and tribulations of studying an endangered species of turtle and how his journey led him right here to this area! His presentation will touch on the nuances of turtle research, how he locates turtles in the wild, results of his research thus far, and what impacts have happened ecologically.
