There are currently nearly 60 wild mammal species in Indiana. Join us at Patoka River National Wildlife Refuge where we’ll take a closer look at a few of those found living within Refuge boundaries. Guest speaker, Julie Loehr, will share information on current distribution and status of certain endangered or rare species, as well as information on
mammal dental forms as a means of identification. We will have mammal skins on hand to identify and touch, and also a few mammal skulls to observe and study. Take-home handouts will be available, as well as hands-on mammal track identification fun.
The program will be at the outdoor classroom next to Boyd’s Trail. It will last about an hour and a half. Insect repellant is suggested. To get to the Boyd’s Trail parking lot, head east on SR 64 through Oakland City. Just outside of the city, past the brown sign directing you to Snakey Point, turn left onto CR 1275E. In 1/2 mile, bear left onto paved 1300E; it will become gravel. Continue one mile to the parking lot located on the left side of the road.
