Spring Sounds at the River
A Night Hike at Leslee Niethammer Preserve
MARCH 21, 2026 at 7 PM
[Saline, Michigan, March 21, 2026 – 7 PM] Join us at the Leslee Niethammer Saline River Preserve for a nocturnal hike to listen and look for early spring singers. This is the time of year that spring critters start to emerge. Spring Peeper frogs are one of these.
We will kick off with a brief introduction to frogs of Michigan and frog calls followed by a hike. Bring your flashlight as we’ll be hiking right around dusk.
All ages welcome! We will meet in the parking lot and head down to the meadow at 7 PM.
Friends of the Saline River are the stewards of the Leslee Niethammer Saline River Preserve. The Preserve was established in 2016 to help protect the natural ecological diversity and heritage of Washtenaw County. It is named to honor Leslee Niethammer, long-time director of the Saline District Library and an active community member. We maintain beautiful walking paths with benches, informational signs, views of the Saline River, and wildflowers.
