Cool, crisp morning and warm, sunny afternoons have things feeling like fall at Runge. Along with the change in the temperature, falling leaves, blooming goldenrod (and soon asters), migrating birds, butterflies, and dragonflies, and dropping fruit (walnuts, persimmons, and plums) are further evidence that autumn will officially arrive shortly. Get in on the fall fun by visiting the nature center and/or attending one of our programs. Programs include activities such as bird walks, monarch tagging, microfishing, and outdoor skills.
