Upcoming Events
Program Meetings
From September to May we have monthly programs on the third Tuesday, 7 pm. They feature a variety of nature topics that inform us and expand our horizons. All are free and open to everyone. Beginning in January 2022 we plan to resume live programs at the Great Plains Nature Center. The programs will be live-streamed on Facebook and recordings will be available on Facebook and YouTube for those who don't feel comfortable with in-person meetings.
Field Trips
We take field trips every month of the year, from walks in local parks to multi-day expeditions to other states. Everyone is welcome, from beginners to experts.
