June 2024 – Ranger Ramblings

Turkey vultures—gross but loveable creatures—have returned from their annual migration south for the winter!

A highlight of the past month for me was hiking with a group of kids from the Boys and Girls Club to the top of Lookout Point.

August 21-24 marked the return of the Outdoor Explorations Program to the NWDC River Campus for the 2023-2024 school year.

On Thursday August 8th, the Nature & Wildlife Discovery Center team had an incredible staff retreat at the Mountain Campus!

NWDC Raptor Center Director Diana Miller drew a beautiful red-tailed hawk out from a portable carrier and held it up for all to see.

It sometimes takes awhile for students to realize the human impacts on the river, such as personal use and growing crops.
