Hikes and Outings

Mollusks at Anderson Lake

Join the Natural History Society this month, on May 24, for an outing around Anderson Lake led by Ric Brewer, a keen heliciculturist and malacologist. See the May newsletter for details on how to join this fascinating study of gastropods. We highly recommend listening to Nan Evans’ interview of Ric on KPTZ’s Nature Now series: https://kptz.org/2024/04/03/665-snails-of-the-pacific-northwest-part-1/st.
