Warmer weather has returned....for the moment. Schools visiting this week include Highland C.P., Mounds Park Academy, and Burroughs Elementary School. Note the nice perch caught by a Highland student on Monday! On Saturday and Sunday we'll be hosting a Teacher-Appreciation weekend for Rockford. Our next scheduled Saturday Public Program will be on March 1st, and will consist of a naturalist-led snowshoe hike through the Martha Sweatt-Reed Forest Preserve.Deep Portage Phenology for this week:
- Ruffed Grouse tracks along the Range Road
- Woodpecker drumming is picking up intensity
- 22 inches of ice on Bass Pond
- half inch of snow on Sunday night was the first measurable snow since late December
