Enviro-Wednesdays is an adult (ages 14+) nature series on the first Wednesday of every month at 7 PM at The Nature Place (unless otherwise noted). Free, no registration necessary. Brought to you by The Nature Place and Friends of the Marsh. Join us to enhance your nature knowledge. Different topics and speakers every month!

This month Sami Meyer from the City of La Crosse Parks, Recreation and Forestry Dept will talk about the City of La Crosse’s “Leaf It” initiative.  The city is encouraging people to mulch their leaves to benefit their yards. The request is part of an effort by the city to make it more sustainable.  They cite the benefits of mulching such as helping return nutrients to the soil, insulating plants and insects over the winter, and helping decrease the potential for weeds.
