From the Friends of Hackmatack:

Spring Gathering- Insights and Adventures of a Humble Bee Chaser

RINGWOOD, IL Join Friends of the Hackmatack National Wildlife Refuge for their spring gathering. Speaking will be Brandie Dunn of Johnsburg, Illinois on her Insights and Adventures of a Humble Bee Chaser.

The gathering takes place on Tuesday, March 12 at 6:30 – 8:15 PM at Lost Valley Visitor Center in Glacial Park, 6316 Harts Rd, Ringwood, IL. Take Harts Rd west off of Rt. 31 between the villages of Richmond and Ringwood.

A personal challenge to improve upon her macro-photography skills while chasing fuzzy bee bottoms evolved into a full-blown love affair with bumblebees and their native bee counterparts.

Join us to hear about Brandie’s journey to be a voice for awareness of their plight and appreciation for the invaluable service they provide to humanity.

There will be time for networking and refreshments before Ms. Dunn’s talk begins at 7 PM.

This event is sponsored by Friends of Hackmatack NWR, a non-profit group whose purpose is to connect people to the refuge and conserve and enhance the natural and cultural resources, rural character and scenic beauty of the refuge.
