Tamarack Nature Center offering free virtual programs
Each spring, a number of events typically take place at Tamarack Nature Center's 320-acre preserve in White Bear Township. Despite all in-person programs being canceled through at least August 31, Tamarack's naturalists are staying connected with the community on all things nature-related through virtual programming.
Virtual programs are free and can be accessed through Facebook and YouTube. A new topic is being shared every week, with each set up as a multi-part series. Tune in to learn more about maple syrup, frogs, gardening and more.
