Spiders of the Northwoods with Larry Weber

The Sax-Zim Bog has an incredibly diverse spider community, with August being one of the best times to experience spiders. Larry Weber is author of two spider based field guides and references. The afternoon will feature a talk, followed by a short walk to showcase what spider diversity is right outside the front door.
