Are you interested in learning about the abundant insect life that surrounds you, and what it can show us about ecosystem health? Our insect biodiversity research is hands-on, accessible, and grounded in basic bug knowledge (no need to be an entomologist!)

All, including beginning birders, are invited to experience the fun and discovery of bird watching at the Greenlee Wildlife Preserve on the first Sunday of each month year-round. Knowledgeable bird watchers will be on hand with binoculars, spotting scopes, and learning tools to assist in the fun activity of identifying birds in their natural habitats.

Ben will discuss the history and biology of this world-changing species; how beavers can help us fight drought, flooding, wildfire, and climate change; and how we can coexist with this challenging but vital rodent (the beaver!).
