Sustainability Fair 2019 - Retzer Nature Center


Today was the second edition of Waukesha County's Sustainability Fair. This time around, it was hosted by the Retzer Nature Center. Just like the inaugural even a few years back, I was honored to lead a hike at this event.


With the rest of the family, I lead a hike about insects. We took to the woods to search for critters before heading back to the prairie and perfecting our insect sweeping.



While we all found a variety of different insects and bugs, our favorite was a monarch caterpillar of course.



After our hike, we dug into some of the array of activities throughout the grounds.



In our activities adventure, Embry lost her first ever tooth. Literally. It is somewhere on the Retzer trails.



We then walked on a beautiful trail to  serene place known as Brown's Fen. This was my first trip to this area but it absolutely won't be my last.
