June 2024 – Ranger Ramblings

Unfortunately, most insects like moths are specialists, meaning they only eat one type of plant, and lay their eggs on these plants.

Often wheel-like or cylindrical “snowballs” are formed naturally as chunks of snow roll down hill picking up further snow along the way.

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.

After two days of single digit and sub-zero temperatures, a dedicated group of birding enthusiasts got outside on December 24th.

Recent snowfall had provided a surge of moisture for the moss to absorb, leaving the north-facing wall of the canyon lush and green.
