Adventures with Nature Norm is welcoming in fall with a tour showing off the fall colours in the tall-grass prairie. 

The tour is this upcoming Saturday, and Norm Gregoire believes it will be the perfect time to appreciate the fall colours. 

“We're already starting to notice a lot of the aspens are changing colors, but there is still a fair amount of green ones. I'm not sure if it has to do with the warm weather that we've had, but it seems like we're having a pretty warm fall here, which definitely correlates with a little bit later foliage than usual.”
