Flowers are blooming, bees are buzzing, butterflies are plentiful, and temperatures have been in the 90's for weeks. Summer is well underway at Runge. But even with all this heat, it is still a great time to get out and explore the nature center. Hike down to the creek to cool off, borrow a net to catch insects or aquatic critters, and ask about using binoculars to observe birds at the viewing area. And, don't forget about our iNaturalist BINGO Observation Challenge. Challenges that can be found at the front desk of the nature center. After completing the challenge using the iNaturalist app or website, and adding your observations to the "Runge Biodiversity Project," stop at the front desk to receive a free field guide and bug clutch.

Explore! Observe! Have fun! this summer at Runge
