Come see the lovely crocuses!  They are in full bloom and simply lovely.  They are blooming throughout the nature area, but especially showy on Trail 3.  You might try Trail 9 for a change - we are surprised how many are showing up along that trail - it is one of the newer trails.

Annual Spring Walk

The annual spring walk will take place on Sunday, May 27, 2012 at 1:00 pm.  Come and learn about what lives and grows at J.J.Collett Nature Area!  The walk is held rain or shine. Please dress accordingly.  There will be treats, too!

Dogs 

Please keep dogs on leashes so that they don't surprise other visitors (or resident wildlife), and please scoop their poop. The crocuses are complaining, and the sage is revolting. Thank-you!
