A lovely view of BRC's Conservation Campus. From the bottom of the frame up, you can see the agricultural area, trout stream, pollinator meadow, trail, parking area, education center, and office. Hwy 321 is in the upper left. We're thankful to call this beautiful place home.

There was an amazing turnout for this morning's mushroom walk with Dr. Coleman McCleneghan! The group walked the BRC trail and collected fungi from the woods, then learned about the types and characteristics of each. Big thanks to Dr. McCleneghan for her time and expertise! 🍄🍄
