💧🦞 Wow! What an incredible turnout for Coffee by the Creek today! 🌿

We had a fantastic morning and collected a record number of crayfish and dragonfly nymphs!
A huge thank you to everyone who came out and continues to support Nature as Teacher. Even with the creek running much lower than usual, there was no shortage of discoveries, curiosity, and fun!

Thank you for your continued support 💚
