Join DeGraaf's natural history tours

Three tours in the Michigan region are set for 2008 by the DeGraaf Nature Center. They are:

* "The Arc of Appalachia" wildflower and birding tour to Highlands Nature Sanctuary in Bainbridge, Ohio, Thursday to Sunday, April 17 to 20, 2008.

Witness one of the most spectacular natural shows on the face of the earth -- the blooming of the temperate Eastern broadleaf forest in the spring. This wildflower pilgrimage will be held in the 90-mile-long Arc of Appalachia region located in south-central Ohio.

Most meals, transportation, lodging and naturalist guides are included with the tour.

Registration is under way.

* "Tip of the Mitt and U.P. Birding and Wildlife Tour" -- June 10 to 14, 2008.

In early June, Mother Nature puts on a show. It is a time of vibrancy as spring colors explode across wild landscapes. This tour will focus on exceptional wildlife viewing areas found in the northern Lower Peninsula and eastern Upper Peninsula.

Included in this tour are lodging, one field lunch, transportation and naturalist guide.

* "Isle Royale National Park Wilderness Tour" with DeGraaf Nature Center, Tuesday, Aug. 5 through Saturday Aug. 9, 2008.

Wolves and moose, the wild North Woods forest, ever-changing weather, a cool climate, and the clear waters and rugged shoreline of Lake Superior characterize Isle Royale National Park. Ninety nine percent of the land mass is federally designated wilderness. There is excellent fishing, historic lighthouses and shipwrecks, ancient copper mining sites, and plenty of spots to observe wildlife.

Included in this tour are all meals and lodging while on the island, guided boat tours, guided walks and hikes, use of kayaks/canoes, tips at the lodge, fees for the National Park Service and transportation to and from Houghton.
