Now that our days have gotten shorter and there's a little less time to play outside, a place like the Wesselman Woods Nature Center & Preserve needs to tweak their hours of operation.

According to Pinterest, Autumn has swiftly descended upon us. Break out the plaid scarves, hoodies, duck boots and pumpkin spice everything, because it's fall, yall! Join the Wesselman Nature Society as they celebrate the harvest season with hayrides, guided night hikes, a raptor show, children's activities and more!

The West Side Nut Club Fall Festival is nearly upon us, and Wesselman Nature Society has again been presented with a terrific opportunity to raise needed funds by operating a parking lot at the event from October 3rd-8th.  Volunteers are necessary to make this fundraiser a success – and they need some volunteers to volunteer!

One of the biggest gripes people from Evansville have is that there's nothing to do. As a native myself, I've certainly said that a time or ten. Maybe it's because we're too "inside the box." Meaning we can't step back and see what our city has to offer because we're too close. We're here every day, so the attractions we have are just another part of the landscape, like any random house

Nothing says love like naming a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach, and now you too can name one this Valentine's Day with Evansville's own, Wesselman Nature Society!

For the first time in the event's three year history, performers from outside the Evansville area will join those from the area to perform live on stage for the annual fundraiser benefiting Wesselman Woods Nature Preserve.
