Can Spring Be Far Off?

The end of winter is in sight – really. This coming Friday, March 1, begins meteorological spring so it’s time to start watching for the return of our migrating and hibernating critters and the emergence of dormant plants. Dodge Nature Center is doing more than just watching – we’re sponsoring a contest to see who can do the best job of predicting when we see those first blooms and returning animals. Go to the website below to download the contest form.

Look over the list of events in the table and place an “X” in the box of the week you think will be the first time the event happens or is the first sighting of the animal on Dodge Nature Center’s Main Property. Dodge naturalists will determine the actual dates of the events/sightings.

Email your contest form to troot@dodgenaturecenter.org by Tuesday, February 26, 2013. Late entries will not be accepted.

Winners will be notified on Monday, June 3, 2013 and prizes will be awarded to the three individuals with the most correct guesses.

Join the fun as Dodge watches spring unfold!
