MURIE AUDUBON PRESENTS:
WHAT’S HAPPENING IN ROTARY PARK

Joanne Theobald, a Certi?ed Wyoming Naturalist and a member of the Rotary Park Improvement Committee (RPIC), will be our guest speaker in May. She will discuss the current activities of the RPIC, including the installation of a Geology Interpretive Trail near the waterfall platforms this summer, and the redesigning and creation of new way ?nding signage along the park’s trails. Theobald will also share her volunteer work in the park with Natrona County Weed & Pest to help manage the spread of burdock and houndstongue. She is establishing sections in the lower part of the park that volunteer groups can adopt (after being trained) to remove burdock and houndstongue seedheads each summer. Finally, we will discuss the audience’s birding experiences and sightings in the park. Theobald, formerly director of counselling at Casper College, is a participant in University of Wyoming’s Wyoming Naturalist Program and teaches community education classes about plant life and ecosystems of Rotary Park. You may remember her previous program on Turkey Vultures in November 2022. The program will be on May 8, 2025 at 7 p.m., at the Izaak Walton Clubhouse, at 4205 Fort Caspar Road.

November

General Meeting – MURIE AUDUBON PROGRAM PRESENTS

Dwaine Wagoner returns as our guest speaker for the November program. Dwaine, who describes himself as “a 73-year-old curmudgeon with a high school diploma and an advanced degree of curiosity,” will discuss the beautiful winged insects that can be found in Natrona County. A longtime Werner Wildlife Museum and Tate Museum volunteer, Dwaine wrote and photographed “Butterflies of Natrona County” which is currently on display downstairs at the Werner Wildlife Museum. If you have ever wondered about the identity of those butterflies that visit your garden each year, this is the man to ask. Please join us on Friday, November 9, 2018 at 7 pm at the Oil & Gas Conservation Commission Building at 2211 King Blvd. for this program. As always, the program is free and open to the public! See you there!
