News and Highlights

  • LWC Podcast/Audio Newsletter - Up and running! Listen on your computer or mp3 player. The beauty of the podcast is that it's like our own radio show except you can listen to it anytime and anywhere you want. We'll be hosting talks with local naturalists, sharing recordings from the field, and providing ideas to get the whole family outdoors exploring nature. Stop by for a listen! LWC Podcast
  • LWC Blog: Our blog is where we're posting the latest habitat and wildlife news, field trip reports, issues and actions, and tid-bits like equipment or book reviews, special activities, nature facts. You can subscribe to the blog to receive the (almost) daily postings and photos, comment on happenings and stay in touch. Check it out today: LWC Blog
  • Follow us on Twitter: Another way to stay connected and get quick reports from the field on wildlife encounters.
