Buggin' Out at the Refuge

Join us for a jam packed event filled with all things BUG! We'll have crafts, opportunities to interact with live bugs and chances to learn about what you can do at home to help bugs and other pollinators. Then join us for a guided walk around Humbug Marsh as we search for dragonflies, butterflies and other native insects.

Humbug Marsh is a 410 acre hotspot of biodiversity in an urban landscape designated as a Wetland of International Importance. Located along the Detroit River, straddling both Trenton and Gibraltar Michigan, this site is the last undeveloped mile of the Detroit River on the U.S. side of the border. We will traverse native prairies, native shrublands, diverse wetlands and forests with a unique mosaic of 300-400 year old oaks mixed with hickory and ash.

A waiver for Covid 19 is included in the registration process and the following protocols will be in place in order to have a safe walk for all involved:

1. Must register in advance, no touch check-in at start of field trip

2. We ask that if you have been exposed to anyone with Covid 19 or are feeling unwell to please stay home

3. Binoculars will be available to use, but must be requested during registration
