The Sleeping Bear Nature Group will kick off the new year with another inspiring and educational outing, lead by artist and environmentalist Penny Krebiehl. This month’s meeting will begin with a recorded lecture from the recent Wild Wonder Conference with presenter Kate Rutter, entitled Celebrating Place Using the Four S’s: Scenes, Senses, Spaces, and Souvenirs. At 11:15, the group will then depart for a guided field trip to Lake Ann State Park. Be sure to pack pencils/pens, paper or drawing book/journal, water bottle, snacks/lunch, and dress for the cool, chilly weather with comfy walking shoes, and your curiosity.Registration is not mandatory, but is helpful in case there is a change in the schedule or bad weather issues: 231-326-5361, or [email protected].
