2nd SUNDAY SPEAKER SERIES
Each 2nd Sunday of the month at 2:00 PM, we present a speaker on a topic related to nature. Presently these programs will be online as a recorded presentation or live recording. Check back periodically for the growing list of presenters and topics. You'll enjoy topics such as woodland turtles, building backyard ponds, diatoms, Road Scholars, and more.
The public program showcases the experiences and knowledge of various individuals and organizations around the Cedar Valley on topics related to nature. Each presentation begins at 2:00 PM on the 2nd Sunday of each month. If a major holiday lands on the 2nd Sunday, the Series will be delayed until the following Sunday. There’s no need to register and there’s no cost; however, occasionally there may be a special event that does require a fee and that would be advertised in advance.
March 14 at 2:00 PM This will be a Facebook Live event. Open our Facebook page to view the live video at 2:00 PM on March 14.
Cletus Wander has been volunteering at Hartman Reserve and other Iowa sugar bushes each early spring to help make pure maple syrup. Cletus has a wealth of knowledge about the maple syruping process that he will share during this edition of 2nd Sunday Speaker Series. Cletus will be in our Sugar Shack during this event, talking about the tapping and syruping processes that lead to that sweet, pure maple syrup we all love!
