Events planned at Woodland Dunes Nature Center

TWO RIVERS — Woodland Dunes Nature Center, located on Highway 310 on the west side of Two Rivers, has announced a variety of upcoming events:


:arrow: Today, 6:30 p.m. — Full Moon Hike


Join Bernie Brouchoud to explore the surprisingly bright side of winter — the night side. Participants will have a chance to experience the world as much of the wild world does — from a nocturnal point of view. Only rain will prevent the hike from taking place. Those interested should meet at the nature center headquarters at 6:30 p.m. Folks Bernie is awesome last fall my family participated in the Traking of the Northern Saw Whet Owls (we actualy had a record tally of way over a hundred Owls) While on the prowl for these tiny birds we had a lot of sightings of the nocturnal critters. I must say this will well be worth the trip to Two Rivers. Dress Warm though!

Ozanne, a native of Two Rivers, will speak about the benefits of a healthy diet not only for humans but for the environment as well.

Join Kelly and Jody Henseler to learn about the basics of tracking and explore the trails looking for evidence of winter wildlife. I'll be actually looking into this shop, whose up for joining me?

:arrow: Saturday, March 3, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. — Woodland Dunes Reads Leopold


The event will include reading from Aldo Leopold's "Sand County Almanac" as well as activities taken from his writings. Leopold is one of Wisconsin's most notable naturalists and was one of the founders of the science of wildlife management at the University of Wisconsin. His writings on conservation ethics have influenced many people in the fields of resource management and environmental education.


This is Woodland Dunes' first Leopold weekend, held in conjunction with many other Leopold activities across the state.

This is the second time Seeger, sister of Pete and Mike Seeger and a folk music icon in her own right, will appear at Woodland Dunes.
