The Dungeness River Nature Center invites the community to learn about native bees through its new Native Bee Walk series this spring.

Walks are offered on April 4, May 2, and June 6, and each session is designed to stand alone, allowing participants to register for one or attend multiple dates.

Participants can join local bee specialist Ingrid Carmean and river center educators to observe bees up close in their natural habitat and learn about conservation efforts to protect these vital pollinators.

Each walk runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and begins at the river center before traveling to a featured field location in the community to search for native bee species. Participants will carpool from the river center to that month’s site. Hand lens will be provided.

The cost is $15 for Dungeness River Nature Center members and $25 for non-members. Space is limited, and advance registration is required.

More information and registration can be found at DungenessRiverCenter.org/programs/.
