Winter Festival and Artisan Market
Saturday, February 1st, 11am-3pm What better way to spend a winter day than enjoying quality, fun time with your family and community at the Preserve! From sledding and ice skating (bring your own skates!), to live rescue demonstrations, we’ll have outdoor activities for everyone to enjoy. Warm-up inside with hot cocoa and food, take part in our free crafts, shop for hand-crafted treasures from our local vendors, and join Kelly Martin, local wildlife rehabilitator, for an indoor show-and-tell of her rescued animals. We will also have an opportunity to come along on a guided hike in our winter woods at 1 PM. Full Moon Hike

This event is now full! You can still register below to be put on our wait list. If space opens up prior to the event, you will be notified. Owl Prowl
With Kelly Martin, Wildlife Rehabilitator Saturday, March 14th, 5-7pm Kelly will begin with an indoor showing of her live, rescued owls and will share the wonders of these incredible birds with the community.
