Come build with us for our first Lego Adventures.

Early fall can be one of the nicest times to visit Vermilion Point. With luck, there will be blue skies, no frost, warm water, fall color, and no bugs. Tom Allan, who lived at Vermilion Point for eight years, will lead a cranberry-picking field trip at this remote preserve. He’ll cover a little history on the old cranberry farm and the life-saving station, and a little bit of wetland and interdunal ecology. Bring your own bucket to fill!

After dark, these birds come to life! Wander through the Seberon “Boo” Litzenburger Nature Preserve with Brad to try to call in owls and learn all about these magnificent birds!

Join LTC environmental education staff at the Charlevoix Public Library for an evening with one of northern Michigan’s most iconic and least often seen mammals. By November, black bears are moving toward their dens and their bodies are running through a remarkable physiological transformation. We’ll follow a bear’s year from spring emergence through the frenzied hyperphagia of fall, exploring how they read and move through the same forests, wetlands, and ridgelines that define the landscape LTC works to protect.

It’s a biodiversity identification party!

Want a break from the gales of November? Spend an evening with LTC and other naturalists looking at what people documented and discovered in the Straits Area and posted on iNaturalist.org. We will help make IDs individually and as a group. We will share what we are seeing, and take moments to learn and appreciate the natural wonders we share this area with. Bring your laptop, field guides, and curiosity, or just the last one! We will have field guides, pizza, and a main screen for group IDing! Registration required and capped at 15 people.
