Our summer community campfire series is back!

Our first campfire of the year will be investigating the world of amphibians! Early June is the perfect time to find frogs, toads, salamanders, and more! The Kip Trail is the perfect ecosystem as well, with seasonal vernal pools all over the place and the Little River right next door. We're bound to find all sorts of critters.

Join us for the first edition of our summer 2026 Community Paddle series! Every other week we meet at the Little River boat launch on outer Park St. at 6:30 for a paddle on the Little and Grasse Rivers with a lesson on nature we see along the way! Life jackets, paddles, and boats are all provided for free.
