Nipper Nighttime Frog Walk!

The frog walk has been rescheduled to Saturday, April 9 from 8-9 pm

(Rescheduled to 4/9 – needs to be 50° for frogs to be active). Bring your flashlights and rubber boots and join us for a guided nighttime stroll at Nipper Wildlife Sanctuary. Enjoy the springtime sounds and songs of several different species of frogs.

(Confirmed – this event will go on Saturday April 9 – the frogs are at their best.)
