Our Decaying World
When you have grass under your feet and trees overhead, you are surrounded by decay. Nature is constantly reusing its resources as fallen trees offer food and shelter, and fallen animals help the plants find nutrients. We will be examining different examples of this decay and reuse cycle throughout Oakdale Nature Preserve. Dress warmly and be prepared to get your hands dirty. We anticipate not needing masks but please have one with you should guidelines change. Meet by the Mogle building, just off of the parking lot.

Navigating in the Wild
Want to know how to turn your watch into a compass? Do you know how to find East using a stick in the ground? Do you think moss only grows on the North side of a tree? We will talk about these strategies for navigation and more at Oakdale Nature Preserve. Meet in the shelter/parking area of the Newell Tract (the part of Oakdale on the west side of Crane’s Grove Rd.) We anticipate not needing masks but please have one with you should guidelines change.
