(SEYMOUR) – An adult Indiana Master Naturalist class will be conducted at Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge on Wednesday evenings in March and April.

The class will be from 6 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. at the refuge visitor center and will be sponsored by the Muscatatuck Wildlife Society, the refuge’s nonprofit support group. The refuge is at 12985 East US 50 in Seymour.

Course topics will cover a different natural history topic each week, and subjects will include birds, mammals, wetlands, botany, tree identification, invasive plants, reptiles and amphibians, geology, fossils, and public lands.
