Conservancy Day: When Things Happen

Speaker will be Randy Hoffman, Author of When Things Happen: A Guide to Natural Events in Wisconsin

Randy Hoffman will present how his book When Things Happen came to be. Discussion of how the book fills an information gap in a person’s nature experience highlights the talk. Exploration of the innumerable benefits of nature experiences provides the background for the book. The talk will conclude with examples from the local area regarding where to experience nature’s bounty.
