Archaeological Dig for Adults at Crossroads

Kids aren’t the only ones who can have fun digging in the dirt! Adults may participate in a free archaeological dig at Crossroads at Big Creek’s Cove Preserve on Oct. 10 and 11, both days at 3:30 pm. Park in the grassy lot off 20th Place, and walk down the hill. Dress for the dirt, and take work gloves. 

“Ten-Minute Garden Tours” will be the free program of the Wild Ones of the Door Peninsula on Oct. 10, 7 pm, in the Collins Learning Center. Members Karen Newbern, Mary Goodner, John Stiefel, Don Gustafson and Coggin Heeringa will share brief slide-show tours of their gardens to offer great ideas on using native plants in your yard. 

Join the DNR for an open public meeting Oct. 15, 6:30 pm, in the Collins Learning Center to discuss smallmouth bass in the waters of Lake Michigan and Green Bay. This meeting will allow DNR staff members to engage stakeholders and present information.
