NEW GLARUS - Join the Friends of New Glarus Woods State Park at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, March 27, to learn about the habitat and habits of the owls of Wisconsin.
This family-oriented outdoor program will begin with a bonfire at the New Glarus Woods State Park picnic area by the park entrance. Steve Johnston, park manager, and Brad Bates, assistant manager, will present an interactive and interpretive program with hands on demonstrations. People can go for an evening night hike along trails lit by luminaries in search of owls and listen for their calls.
Check weather conditions and dress appropriately. Parents may wish to come early so their children can enjoy the new park playground. Lawn chairs are suggested for playground and bonfire viewing.
