Otto Nature Preserve

All ages are invited to join educator, Kiki, for a series of winter hikes at Otto Nature Preserve, 3001 16th Ave, Shelby, MI. As we wander the winter woodlands we will explore topics such as winter tree identification, animal tracking and insect hibernation. Activities are designed to appeal to children and/or your inner child! Come prepared to engage, interact with others and play in the woods!

Dates: 

Jan 28 “Owl Eyes and other Super Powers!” Be the first to find the flags marking points of interest at Otto Nature Preserve in this sensory exploration of the winter woodlands.

Feb 25 “Wildlife Wander” Learn to ‘fox walk’ as you discover evidence of the winter inhabitants of Otto Nature Preserve and perhaps meet some animal friends face to face.

Mar 25 “Don’t Bug Me'' Did mosquitos keep you awake last summer? Well, now it’s your turn to (gently) bug the bugs. We’ll see who’s sleeping through winter or waking up to welcome spring on this hunt for hibernating bugs!
