About this Event
Join ecologist Deborah Perkins from First Light Wildlife Habitats as we explore the intriguing lives of nocturnal creatures. This new program will offer insight into what sorts of habitats support these creatures, and how we might introduce these habitat practices on our own land for bioconnectivity.
