It may be cold out but there is still a lot going on at the Great Marsh. Come for an early winter walk around the ponds; we’ll look for signs of animal life, see what might be happening in the ponds and all the different fungi. With the summer vegetation dying back, it will be easier to see what might be going on in the hedgerows and along the field edges. Dress for the weather, we’ll be walking in the late afternoon so it will be getting dusky, a good time of day to see animal activity. Please RSVP to lori@greatmarshinstitute.org to attend.
