The Birds & the Bees (and Snowshoes)

It looks like the snow will stop just in time for a busy Saturday at Lyman Woods!

Early birds can join a naturalist for a Family Bird Hike, a perfect introduction to birding. The hike is $12/family for all ages, and advance registration is required. If you have binoculars, bring them along, but we have extras you can borrow. Click here to register.

Marge Trocki, a beekeeper with 36 hives, will be leading our new Beginner Beekeeping Workshop from 9 am - 3 pm for ages 16 years & up. She will guide participants through the basics of honeybee biology and how to get started in beekeeping. The fee for the program is $24 and you can register by clicking here (listed on page 2).

The forecasted snowstorm leaves us hopeful that there will be enough snow for snowshoeing this weekend! If so, snowshoes will be available for rent on a first-come basis this weekend. Check back here, visit dgparks.org or call the Interpretive Center to check if we have enough snow on the trails for snowshoes.

New to snowshoeing, or just want a guide? If we have enough snow, we will be holding a Guided Snowshoe Hike Saturday morning at 9:15 am for adults and children ages 5 years and up. The hike is free with the rental of snowshoes ($6/pair), but advance registration is required and space is limited. Call the Interpretive Center at 630.963.9388 to reserve your spot.

Although a snowstorm brings messy commutes and shoveling, don’t forget to get out there and enjoy the snow while it’s here!
