Did you know? – The Brice Prairie Conservation Club is offering use of their cabin near Lytles Landing for groups like yours to have nature activities. It doesn?t see enough use.Here?s a couple ideas the KAMO mentors came up with at their January 5th meeting: A program about bats around June 5th (or so) starting about 45 minutes before sunset. A bird ID walk the second week of June.
