This is the second of a three part winter series that will continue in February. What is hiding in the dead of winter? What do you enjoy about nature this time of year? Attend all three programs and receive a Junior Naturalist Certificate. All are welcome even if you can’t make it to the other programs in the series. Come prepared to be outside! Meet at the Visitor Center.

This is a guided adventure led by Debbie, Certified Interpretive Guide and Naturalist Instructor at Pikes Peak State College. In this workshop you will discover the history, science and art of observing nature and recording observations. Nature journaling helps us reflect and expand our perspectives of the natural world around us and our place within it. All materials will be provided for you; you are welcome to bring your own journal if you’d prefer. Come prepared for a short hike, sitting outdoors for a short period of time (some chairs will be available), and changing weather. Ages 16+. To register, call the Visitor Center at 719-687-2366 or online. Meet at the Visitor Center auditorium.

10 am-3 pm at North Michigan Reservoir. Bring your own gear, or we can provide poles and augers. Fishing license required for 16+. Dress for the weather!
