• Sunday, October 4, 2:00 pm, WILDFLOWERS OF MONTANA  from the BOB MARSHALL WILDERNESS, BY NORMA HENDERSON (with member slide show)SEC member Norma Henderson will share her photos of wildflowers taken on a Sierra Club trip to the Bob Marshall Wilderness of Montana. This Wilderness was established in 1964 and covers over 1,000,000 acres in NW Montana, not far from Glacier National Park. It ranges in elevation from 4,000 to 9,000 feet. After Norma’s program we’ll have time for any member who wishes to show a few slides. These are the old-fashioned slides in a tray that many of us must have stashed in our closets. Why not pull out a few for us to enjoy

• Sunday November 1, 2:00 pm  SPIDERS IN YOUR GARDEN BY CARYLE SPENCE  Some people think the only good spider is a dead spider. Join us for this program where SEC member Caryle Spence will prove otherwise. She will share her wonderful photographs of spiders, most of them taken right in her backyard, while she explains their natural history. Is it a coincidence that this is the day after Halloween?

Fall 2009 Outdoor programs

• Sunday, October 25, 1:00 pm – 3:30 pm.  FIELD TRIP Belle Isle’s Oak Wetland Forest cosponsored by the Stewardship Network.  The Michigan Natural Features Inventory has recently described a new forest community within the state—wet-mesic flatwoods—that are found primarily on southeastern Michigan’s glacial lakeplain. As this area was settled early in Michigan’s history, few examples remain, although several survive in urban parks. Join leaders Allen Chartier & Suzan Campbell at the Belle Isle Nature Zoo for a walk in Belle Isle’s woods, where you’ll see Shumard oak, shellbark hickory, wahoo, and a few surviving pumpkin ash.
