Owl Hoot and Hike Featuring the Northwoods Wildlife Center

Saturday, February 8th, 2025

6:00pm-8:00pm

$10 per person / $20 per family / Free for annual members

Celebrate the majestic and mysterious nighttime predators … owls! Bart Kotarba of the Northwoods Wildlife Center will start the evening by leading a fun and fascinating discussion all about owls and birds of prey. This presentation is about an hour. Afterwards, we’ll head outdoors for a short guided hike to try and hoot for our resident owls.

Dress for the weather, we will be outdoors for about an hour on a groomed trail. Flashlights or headlamps may be worn, but we ask that you use a red light setting, or keep them on a low setting. The goal during the hike is to be as quiet as possible. This will give us the best chance at hearing owls.

The grab and go snack/beverage bar will be open during the event. We will also have an easy craft for the kids as well.

Tickets may be purchased online or at the door.
