Moonlit Paddle
Fontana Park
The water is calm and reflective at night- a perfect time for a moonlit excursion to the head of the lake at Fontana Park. The evening canoe floats will be held just before sundown for about 1½ hours on the Fontana Park Lake. Paddlers will see some animals settling in for the night while others are just becoming active. The animals seen likely will differ on each evening. Participants should dressfor the weather and bring insect repellent. Preregisterby calling 319-636-2617 or fontanapark@iowatelecom.net. Registration is limited, and there is a registration fee of $5 per person for each night, due within ten days of registering.

Monarch Tagging
Bryantsburg Prairie
We have helped in this Citizen Science program for 9 years and in that time participants have tagged nearly 5000 monarchs on their way to their wintering grounds in Mexico. Of those, at least 113 have been recovered in Mexico. That
means if you participate and help tag, you have about a 2.5% chance of having your butterfly recovered. Join us during the fall migration at Bryantsburg Prairie, three miles south of Hazleton on Highwy 150, to catch, tag and
release these tiny travelers. Nets and tags will be provided. Pre-registration is
required, call 319- 636-2617. There is a registration fee of $3 per person or $7
per family. If the weather cooperates, we can tag 100-200 butterflies in an hour. |
