Hi folks. Our "Entangled Lives" Interpretive Walks at the Refuge will continue through the month of November (11/9, 11/16, 11/24, 11/30). As usual, we'll depart from the Refuge Visitor Center at 10 am and walk along the recently reopened Seneca Trail. Walks are free with no signups necessary. I came upon the quote below and think it aptly describes the major theme of our Walks: the myriad ways we are connected to the life (animate AND inanimate) of our planet. As the light wanes and life settles in for its long rest, I hope the words may inspire you to join us one last time (or two!) to celebrate the many treasures the Natural World offers those with eyes to see, ears to hear, and hands to touch.

"I think it's a deep consolation to know that spiders dream, that monkeys tease predators, that dolphins have accents, that lions can be scared silly by a lone mongoose, that otters hold hands, and ants bury their dead. That there isn't their life and our life. Nor your life and my life, that it's just one teetering and endless thread and all of us, all of us, are entangled with it as deep as entanglement goes." - Kate Forster -- (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".")
