You can attend both or just one part. The first portion will be an indoor lecture-discussion held on-site at Riveredge Nature Center with the option to join virtually over zoom. For the second portion\, participants will travel to Horicon Marsh Wildlife Area\, a highly diverse bird spot in WI and the largest cattail marsh in the US\, where Jeff will lead a tour of Horicon’s duck ‘hot spots’ and highlight duck species identification techniques in the field. \nThe field portion on March 8 will be held entirely outdoors.

The back-up bad weather date for the field portion is March 15. \nTransportation to Horicon Marsh will NOT be provided by Riveredge. Participants will meet at the Horicon Marsh Education Center at 7:45 am on March 8\, prepare (use bathrooms\, etc.)\, and then leave for the walk at 8:00 am.

Teacher/naturalist\, Chuck Ritzenthaler\, will take you on an enlightening journey into the realm of nature’s magical adaptations—elegant solutions crafted over millennia that empower not only the diverse tapestry of wildlife but also humankind. Some of the topics included are the fascination with cell size\, intricate design of a garden spider web\, the history and magic of yellow sweet clover\, willow’s place in history\, the monarch mimic\, future innovation from the dragonfly\, and the amazing story of the goldenrod gall. The remarkable strategies in this presentation through the use of haiku will showcase nature’s ingenuity and its profound impact on our survival and well-being. We will end with the magic of popcorn and how its traits might influence your life. As we explore these breathtaking marvels\, we’ll discover how understanding and appreciating these adaptations can inspire us to forge a deeper connection with the natural world\, ultimately enhancing our own lives in ways we never imagined. Let’s touch grass and maybe even create a haiku.\n“In every walk in nature one receives far more than one seeks.” – J. Muir \nThis program is offered in-person and virtually.
