Nature Talk with Alana Buchanan of the Marmot Recovery Centre at Mt. Washington: a presentation which will appeal to all ages - “Marvelous Marmots: Fun, Fact & Fiction”. The Recovery Centre is not open to the public, so this event is a chance to see behind the scenes: what the facility looks like, how it runs, and what they do with the captive marmots. The presentation will be indoors at the Wilderness Centre.
Saturday Sept. 24, 8 am:
