Visit Naturalist Breanna at the Log Cabin Days on September 12th and 13th. On Saturday, September 12th, we will have a biofact table set up, and from 4:00-5:00 PM, a Wildlife Biofact Education Program will take place. On Sunday afternoon, join Breanna from 1:00-2:00 PM for a casual walk to explore the Blakeslee Cabin property and observe the species growing there; if time permits, we will walk to the small pond further back. Closed-toed shoes and long pants are recommended as the path is mowed and uneven.
