Today’s agenda times may be adjusted to best suit the instructor’s needs and weather factors.

As a reminder, bug repellant and/or long sleeves and long pants are suggested because of the presence of tics. We will be wading in a stream (ankle deep) and going out on the lake in a boat so here is a strong possibility that you will get wet. Sturdy waterproof shoes and/or short waders are suggested. A change of clothes and sunscreen may be warranted.

Bringing your own water bottle and/or coffee mug would reduce our use of disposables.

You may wish to bring related field guides or books.
