June is one of Cape May’s wettest and wildest months. Explore the puddles along the Red Trail with dip nets as you look for tadpoles, frogs and insect life. Check the bugs and spiders out with a magnifying glass. Look for birds (with binoculars on loan) then learn how to look them up in the field guide. Find the secret hideouts of the tree frogs and finally do a good deed for wildlife - save a tree’s life by removing some invasive aliens! An old-fashioned outdoors bonding experience for kids, parents and grandparents!
