鈥淣ature Adventure Day is great for our community. I love seeing the excitement on people鈥檚 faces when they experience nature on this level,鈥 said Dr. Richard Durtsche, REFS director. 鈥淚f you want to take a break from the activities, our students鈥 research will be on display inside the field station, and you can always join a wetlands hiking tour.鈥
