Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays to all or our friends, members, and volunteers at Fermilab Natural Areas! We are thankful for your commitments and contributions towards reaching our goals and look forward to the coming year.

Main Ring Prairie Burn

FNA member Gordon Koizumi captured this photo of the prescribed burn in Fermilab's Main Ring prairie yesterday.

FNA's November / December Newsletter

The latest edition of the FNA newsletter is now available.  Read about the February general membership meeting, the fall prairie harvests, an award from the Volunteer Stewardship Network, Plants of Concern and Dragonflies.

In addition, there are many habitat workday opportunities throughout the winter, on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.  Check the newsletter calendar, the FNA calendar, or the upcoming events on this page for a time that works for you!

December Desktop Calendar

Enjoy scenes of Fermilab's natural areas on your computer desktop! Here are instructions for downloading & installing the December 2012 calendar pictured below onto your computer:

1. Click the image above to open in a new browser window (or tab).

2. Right-click (or ctrl-click for some Mac users) on the image, and chose the option that says, "Set Picture as", (or similar words; the exact wording will depend on your internet browser) and save to your desktop. On your desktop, right click “Properties” and select the “Desktop” tab. Click “Browse” and navigate to the saved image on your desktop. Select it & click “Open.” On the “Display Properties” dialogue box, click “OK.”

3. If the image does not fit your desktop background neatly, you may have to go to your preference screen (on a Mac: System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Desktop; or on Windows: Control Panel > Display > Desktop) and choose "Fit to screen" as the display mode of your background image.

Many thanks to our photo contributors for their efforts!
