Our resident American Mink was out and about recently at the OLC. These small semi-aquatic mammals are members of the weasel family. They spend most of their time in or around water, and eat a varied diet of fish, frogs, crayfish, and some small mammals. You can learn more about the American Mink below!

We had a successful w**d wrangle last Monday! Volunteers removed a bunch of Honeysuckle and made room for native Coralberry to grow in. A huge thanks to the wranglers for their help!

Members of the AHS boys track and field team came out to the Outdoor Learning Center to spread mulch on some of the trails. The OLC trails hold a lot of water when it rains, so this project was very helpful. A huge thanks goes out to the team for spending their Saturday morning helping take care of the OLC!
