November Nature Walks! 

By popular demand, our nature walks will, again, begin at 8 AM every Saturday! 

FREE for adults and children 8 and older (accompanied by an adult).

Join CSU staff for a leisurely walk along the trails at the Oxbow Meadows Environmental Park.  We will look at plants, birds and other wildlife.  Beginners are welcome and encouraged.

Please wear sturdy shoes, long sleeved shirts, long trousers, sunglasses and a hat.  The insects are ferocious - bring insect repellent.  We will be in the sun - you will need sun screen. 

Bring your field guide and binoculars.  If you don't have them, we will provide loaners:  Leupold Yosemite 6x30 binoculars and a variety of plant, mammal, reptile and amphibian field guides. 

The Lynn Haven Garden Club features Susan Gristina presenting The Five Stans

Do you know your "stans"?  When the USSR disbanded and became known as the post-Soviet states or the Former Soviet Union, 15 states were established and they are now grouped along geographical and cultural distinctions.  The Central Asian group is comprised of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. 

This Saturday at 10 AM, please join the Lynn Haven Garden Club as Susan Gristina shares stories and photos while we discuss her travels in Central Asia.  This is a unique opportunity to learn more about what has happened since 1991 when the USSR split into 15 independent nations grouped into the Baltic, Eastern European, Transcaucasus, Eurasian and the aforementioned Central Asian regions.

As always, the program will be free and open to the public.
