Meet Little Critters that Make a Big Noise: Friday May 10 17
**due to cold weather we have moved this event to the alternate date of Friday, May 17**
Join the Driftless Area Land Conservancy and UW-Madison researcher Jeremiah Yahn on Friday, May 17 at 7:30 PM to see frogs and toads up close. You’ll learn about frog ID and biology, and kids will have fun exploring and catching frogs.
The location is a stream and wetland habitat restoration project on a Nature Conservancy preserve. Be prepared for muddy and wet conditions and darkness; bring a headlamp or flashlight. Meet at The Nature Conservancy parking lot south of Barneveld: from 18/151 take County Road K south for about 2 miles; the lot will be on your right, marked by a sign.
Registration is free and strongly recommended so we can contact you in case of poor weather (too cold or rainy). Contact Katie Abbott for more information, to register, or to check for cancellation: (608) 930-3252, (608) 553-2822 (cell), or katie@driftlessconservancy.org.
