Well, suit up for this half-day program where we will travel to three different locations to see how many ducks we can find! After our duck-viewing adventure, we will end at Plum Creek Nature Center to view the Federal Duck Stamp Art Display while we get cozy by a fire, enjoy hot beverages and raffle off door prizes.
We will meet at Rock Run Rookery Preserve then drive to Monee Reservoir and finish at Plum Creek Nature Center. Participants are responsible for their own transportation.
Fee: Free!
Age: Ages 18 and older.
