A Nature Year at Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary: Fall Tuesdays

Description

Immerse yourself in a season of local natural history. With a skilled Mass Audubon naturalist as your guide, experience the cycle of the seasons at Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary. Gain extensive natural history knowledge, form community with like-minded, curious adults, and receive the many benefits of spending time outdoors.

Throughout the autumn we'll learn the function of fungi, search for colorful ducks and geese, and learn about how animals prepare for winter.
