Join us on Friday, February 6 for a winter adventure for the whole family, in partnership with NoMi Forest Explorers and Manistee County 4-H

We'll be doing guided, kids-appropriate evening hikes, with snowshoes provided if there is enough snow (if not, the adventure will still take place without snowshoes!) We will have staggered hike times, so feel free to drop in at any time, no need to commit to the whole event time. We will have a variety of nature activities, a campfire, and a hot chocolate bar before or after your guided hike.
