Dyke Marsh: Explore, Learn and Protect

Join us on August 23 at 8 p.m. for a bat walk led by FODMer Deborah Hammer and learn about these often misunderstood superheroes of the night. Meet at the Haul Road Trail entrance. Bring a flashlight (red light preferred) and insect repellent. So everyone can hear and learn, this walk is limited to 20 people. The event will be postponed in case of rain.

Help protect native plants by pulling and clipping invasive plants. We will train volunteers to identify the five or so target plants. We kindly ask that you not bring pets. Invasive plants can threaten and outcompete native plants.
