Nature Board Game Bonanza

Come join us for an afternoon to play some of our favorite nature themed board games! Featuring popular titles such as: Wingspan, Ecosystem, Cascadia, and Catan, games are a fun and engaging way to explore different species and systems in nature through hands-on interaction. A variety of board games will be provided by the refuge along with table space to play them. Ages 8+ are welcome, but please be aware some games may have individual age ratings that are up to 14+ due to complexity. You are welcome to bring your own non-alcoholic beverages and snacks.
