Dr. Spencer Cortwright of Indiana University Northwest will join us to chat about our local amphibians.  

Each spring, amphibians bring great joy as they seem to suddenly emerge from a frozen hinterland—but what are their lives really like throughout the year and across their entire life cycle?  We'll learn about the lives and seasonal rhythms of Midwest amphibians. From breeding migrations to overwintering strategies, this engaging presentation will deepen your understanding of these often-overlooked animals. We hope that the next time you encounter an amphibian in the wild, your mind and soul will fully engage with that animal!

Help maintain the native garden installed by Wild Ones members in front of the giraffe exhibit at Potawatomi Zoo.  Bring gloves, water, and hand tools. Please meet in the zoo parking lot promptly at 8:00 am so that we can be let into the zoo before opening hours.

Purchase native plants from local nurseries and talk to our community partners.
