We hope you are excited to feel the weather changing! Please keep rain in your thoughts so we can get out into the field and foray!

Reminder that you can always bring in specimens for identification to our meetings! Let’s show and tell what you’ve found in your local neighborhoods!

Mark your calendars! Our Annual Board of Directors Election will be held next month on November 7, 2022.
