Nebulae and Monarchs

What do astronomy and butterflies have in common?

Answer: They both were feature presentations at Wildcat Mountain

The Friends-supported programming continues to provide top notch educational opportunities right here at the park for visitors and local residents. Last night Karen Oberhauser shared with us her fascinating knowledge gained over 37 years working with monarch research and conservation.

Last weekend the Northwest Suburban Astronomers generously shared their large telescopes with us after a great program. The views of the rings of Saturn and the M13 Hercules Cluster were amazing.

Programs continue with the next being the re-scheduled Wolf presentation on September 17th. Hope to see you there!
