Join Winnebago Audubon for our Nature's Potpourri Field Trips, held one per month, in June, July and August. Led by Anita Carpenter, the focus is to discover whatever nature presents including birds, flowers, trees, insects, and more. Please dress for the weather and wear sturdy walking shoes. The walks will be slow paced and may be one mile or so long on mowed trails. Sunscreen and bug repellent might be in order
