We had quite the spread of goodies at the November Volunteer Appreciation Day, including breakfast corndogs (sausage wrapped in a pancake), snack mix, chocolate chip cookie dunkers and coconut cookie crisps. Yum!

We went over quite a few bits of news, including information about the new Pollinator Paradise exhibits and the Nov. 16 grand opening. Check out the sneak peek video here.

A press release was also sent out about the Dickinson County Conservation Board voting in favor of a 10-year management agreement for Brooks Golf with Brooks Management LLC. Read the full details here.

New pollinator-themed shirts are available in the Nature Store. Designs, colors and sizes vary. Prices are $15-$20, based on design.

We also learned about some of the general ways to tell apart butterflies and moths, which you can read about here.

The Dickinson County Nature Center will be closed Nov. 28-30 for Thanksgiving, Dec. 24-25 for Christmas and Jan. 1 for New Year’s Day.

The next Volunteer Appreciation Day will be held 10 a.m. Monday, Dec. 2.
