Farewell Summer...

We're Falling for Fall

Fall is upon us and nature is changing to hues of gold on the Winnie landscape. Although we said goodbye to summer, each season brings us all a sense of refresh and preparation for the months ahead. The indoor honeybee observation hive is buzzing while they work to store for the long months of winter, the live stream bird feeding station illustrates how birds, groundhogs, and squirrels are in a frenzy to pack on the pounds for their future journeys, and our Old Crow Circle adult programming offers many ways to rev-up your immunity naturally. Catch the early days of fall with us at the Learning Center Barn or along a trail. See you soon!

Sincerely,
