Adult Learning

We plan to teach you about the many different kinds of agates found on our near the shores of Lake Superior. Have you heard of eye agates? Skip an Atom Agates? How about Water Level or Paint Agates?

In this workshop we will zoom in and focus on practicing plant identification skills. We will also zoom out and discuss the relationship between these plants and their environment. We will encounter many fascinating plants, some of them carnivorous, some of them mere inches tall at maturity, some with strikingly beautiful flowers, some of them are some of the rarest plants in the state!

This workshop, led by a seasoned Wolf Ridge Naturalist, will immerse you in the history and traditions of these classic winter activities as you explore the forests, trails, and scenic vistas of Wolf Ridge.

Join experienced Wolf Ridge Naturalists as they guide you through the essentials of winter birding, animal tracking, and identifying the subtle signs of life in the snow-covered boreal forest.

Perfect for both seasoned artists and those new to nature journaling, this workshop offers a peaceful escape to recharge and reconnect with the wonders of the winter season.
