If the evening bat walk at Woodard Bay Natural Resources Conservation Area (NRCA) this Tuesday night doesn’t capture your fancy, then how about Prairie Appreciation Day this Saturday at Mima Mounds Natural Area Preserve (NAP)? Or, maybe a guided afternoon walk with a DNR ecologist to view recent conservation work at Mima Mounds NAP is your cup of tea?

DNR is hosting these events along with walks, tours, paddles and other fun activities in the natural area gems throughout Washington as part of Natural Areas Appreciation Week, May 7 – 14.
