I used to take kids at school to look for leprechauns in early March. We find skunk cabbage emerging instead. They luv smelling them. Learning about them. Then we would find natural items the leprechauns could use like, an acorn cap as a get.

Can we pay the reg fee there or does it need to be done online? Ty!
