Northern Kentucky University’s Research and Education Field Station (REFS) will hold its annual Nature Adventure Day on Sept. 24 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

“Adventure Day is great for our community. I love seeing the excitement on people’s faces when they experience nature on this level,” said Dr. Richard Durtsche, REFS director. “If you want to take a break from the activities, our students’ research will be on display inside the field station, and you can always join a wetlands hiking tour.”
Nature Adventure Day is presented in tandem with Take a Child Outside (TACO) Week and Green Umbrella’s Great Outdoor Weekend — all designed to encourage children and adults to spend time together outdoors.
NKU’s REFS provides an operation base for a wide range of field research. The REFS facility is located at 99 Harrison Court in Melbourne, adjacent to and facilitates the use of the St. Anne Woods and Wetlands Natural Area.
