On the last Tuesday of every month through October, the conservancy hosts “Mystery Zoom.” Participants can engage with the conservancy each week on social media to try and guess the theme based on clues and questions shared. Each Zoom will cover a different topic. If the topic sparks folks’ interest, they’re encouraged to stick around and learn something new with the hosts. Zoom meeting details will be emailed after registration.
