SUMMER YOUNG NATURALIST OUTING
June 22
A timely visit to Thorn Preserve can hopefully provide a real spectacle of Baltimore Checkerspots and the fragrance of blooming Milkweed in the air. Many other insects, wild flowers, and birds call the preserve’s large meadow home for the summer and will be encountered on this special outing geared to stimulate and encourage young naturalists. Please email jbnhsinfo@jbnhs.org to find out more about participating.
