Family Nature Club: Celebrate Friendship, Bring a Friend!

February 20 @ 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm

Family Nature Club Celebrate Friendship- Bring a Friend Day!

Let’s share our love of nature with others by exploring Nichols Creek State Wildlife Area! Invite another family or bring a friend to this FNC session to uncover this “Wetland Gem.” We will hike through coniferous swamps, sedge meadows, see the waters of Nichols Creek and the North Branch of the Milwaukee River. Dress for the weather to explore the wild spaces here. If there is enough snow, when you get the reminder email the day before it will ask if you need snow shoes and what size. You will need to reply to that email to secure snowshoes for the evening.

Family Nature Club is a free offering to our community designed for kids, teens, and their families. We facilitate outdoor, environmental-education based experiences for families to enjoy together.

Meet at Nichols Creek State Wildlife Area in Plymouth (address below).

All ages are welcome!

Pre-registration is required by February 19 at 11:59 pm.

CRP Fredonia Winter Senses Hike

February 19 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm

Community Rivers Program Fredonia Winter Senses Hike

Join a Riveredge Educator on a wintery hike along the Milwaukee River at Waubedonia Park!

Depending on the weather and snow cover, this hike may include strapping on snowshoes or venturing out on your own feet, but either way we will practice our hiking and nature identification skills while on the trails! Space is limited to 15 participants.

This event is free and for Fredonia Residents Only
