Annual Halloween Hike

Event Summary

The Butler County Conservation Board is sponsoring their annual Halloween Hikes at Heery Woods Nature Center on Tuesday, October 18, 2011.   

This year’s theme is “The Unhuggables”.   During the hike, participants will meet and learn about five of natures less-than-cuddly animals, including a Turkey Vulture, Woodchuck, Timber Rattlesnake, Snapping Turtle, and Porcupine.   Hikes will leave the Heery Woods Lodge at 6:00, 6:15, 6:30, and 6:45.  Each hike will last 30 to 40 minutes.  Following each hike participants are invited to stop in the lodge for refreshments of cookies, hot cocoa, and coffee.   

Halloween Hikes at Heery Woods Nature Center are meant to be a non-scary alternative that is fun for the whole family.  Registration for the hikes is recommended and will guarantee a hike time, children must be accompanied by an adult.  Non-registered participants will be placed in the first available hike, if one as available.  Cost for the hike is a free will donation at the door.
