Got extra catfish fillets? Help us feed the community!

We're looking for donated fish fillets for next Saturday’s Juneteenth fish fry, and we're calling on local anglers to help out. If you have catfish fillets you'd be willing to donate, we'd love to hear from you.

We are just 1 week away from you needing to keep your kids busy over spring break! The Kansas Wetlands Education Center has your afternoons covered. Each day next Monday-Friday our staff will take you through a different hands-on activity. These activities are FREE and you can drop-in any time from 1-4pm.

While you are here, check out the exhibits, walk the nature trail, grab a map for a driving tour of Cheyenne Bottoms, watch our 16-minute video, and visit with the ambassador animals in our classroom.

Can't make it here in person? Tune in each morning for a Facebook Live at 10am for a story, preview of the activity, and an introduction of the staff member leading the fun.

'Tis the season for GIANT PUFFBALL MUSHROOMS & AMERICAN PERSIMMONS!!! Holy smokes what a score! Found by first-time, adult-onset foragers while on a foraging hike with yours truly (Amy Bousman, KDWP Education Specialist)! What a score!! Here's one of my all-time favorite recipes for puffballs https://foragerchef.com/classic-fried-puffballs/.

PLEASE make sure that you have a 100% positive ID on your foraged goodies & that they come from clean, healthy environments!!!

American persimmons are ripe when they are opaque/translucent and soft to the touch. Freshly fallen fruits are ideal, but make sure that they're clear of critter damage (punctures in the fruit such as claw and bite marks). Underripe fruits, welllll...you'll know it when you try it!

What do you like to do with persimmons & puffballs? Please let us know in the comments!
