Wednesday is registration deadline for leaf casting workshop at Lake Meyer

Winneshiek County Conservation is offering a two-session workshop that will teach participants how to create leaf castings in concrete, for use as shallow bird baths or feeders, butterfly feeders or decorations.

The workshop will be held at the Nature Center at Lake Meyer Park, located just off Highway 24 between Calmar and Fort Atkinson.  There will be two sessions: the first from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. Saturday and the second next Thursday from 6:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m.  This is a two-part workshop and participants should plan on attending both sessions.

Space is limited and registration is required by Wednesday by calling (563) 534-7145.  A $10 materials fee is due to the instructors at the start of class.  All materials will be provided, but participants are welcome to bring their own leaves for casting. Please wear old clothes.
