Did you know not all animals hibernate in winter? Celebrate National Take a Hike Day by taking a hike around Lake Renwick Preserve to find out who’s hibernating and who’s not. We’ll look for signs of animals, find out how animals survive cold temperatures and challenge ourselves to see if our winter abilities are as good as a squirrel’s.
Fee: Free!
Age: All ages.
Registration required by Friday, Nov. 15, by calling 815-727-8700 or online: https://anc.apm.activecommunities.com/fpdwc/activity/search/detail/9326?onlineSiteId=0&from_original_cui=true
Dress for the weather as the entire program will be outdoors. Meet at the Turtle Lake Shelter.
The hike will be about 1.5 miles on a paved trail. Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service to participate in this program should submit a request online (https://www.reconnectwithnature.org/americans-with-disabilities-act-information/request-accommodation-inclusion-service/) no later than 48 hours before the program.
