Art class with Jean Perry

An art class with Jean Perry will take place from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday. The subject is coyotes.

Our area’s coyotes, year-round residents that wander around woods, fields, and towns, are larger than their Western cousins.

Taxidermied specimens, hides, and skulls will help inspire participants as they capture these nocturnal animals in watercolor on paper, with help from the instructor.

All materials supplied for a $20 fee. No children, please.

Annual Plant Swap

The center’s annual plant swap will take place on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Start checking your garden now for plants to divide and share at this semiannual swap meet. Even if you have nothing to bring, come join in the fun and take home a perennial or two.

No registration is required at this free program. Native plant species preferred, though not required. No invasive species, please.

Edible Plant Hike

An edible plant hike will take place at 1 p.m. on Oct. 8.

Visiting naturalist and edible plant enthusiast Miranda Clark leads this easy walk along EEC trails in search of some tasty surprises. Clark will also offer a sampling of plants to taste, with some of her favorite recipes prepared in advance.

The program is free for CCEEC members, with a $5 donation per person requested of nonmembers.

Field guides offered on loan. Registration is a must. All ages are welcome.
