Pokagon State Park and the Steuben County Soil and Water Conservation District will host a workshop for Indiana Master Naturalists and those interested in joining the program Oct. 15 at the park to help celebrate the 20th anniversary of IMN. Sign in will be at 8:30 a.m. with the event beginning at 9 a.m.
The workshop will feature two presentations. St. Joseph County Parks interpretive naturalist Jan McGowan will discuss ways that nature prepares for winter, then lead participants on a birding outing. Participants should dress for the weather and bring binoculars if they have them. Kate Sanders, a resource specialist with the Indiana Department of Agriculture, will discuss native plants across seasons and how they can be included in a garden.
Space is limited, and advance registration is required by contacting Aimee Wentworth at aimee.wentworth@in.nacdnet.net or 260-665-3211 ext. 3. For more information on the IMN program, visit indianamasternaturalist.org. Doughnuts and coffee will be provided.
