Campfire Conversations: An Evening of Curiosity

Can a bee be both friend and rival to our forests? Do some plants sneak in from other places just to thrive? And is it true that daddy longlegs might not even be spiders?

Gather around the fire and join Naturalist Michael for a cozy, curiosity-filled evening at Dodge! Sip warm beverages, enjoy snacks, and explore the nuance of nature while discovering the surprising, sometimes contradictory realities of the living world.

Bring your own curious questions, dress for the weather, and see what unfolds. Submit your question ahead of time here, at Ask a Naturalist: https://www.dodgenaturecenter.org/ask-a-naturalist

This free, all-ages event celebrates human-led learning at Dodge—the kind that sparks wonder, conversation, and real connection. Learning like this is only possible thanks to donors like you. Support Dodge during Give to the Max (Nov 1–20) to help keep the classroom without walls alive and thriving.
