First Tuesday At 10 AM Hike / Snowshoe Hike / Soup Potluck

Event Summary

Come and join us for a snowshoe hike at Brigg's Woods Park. We will meet at the Conservation Office, discuss snow shoe basics, and then snowshoe together on the golf course. Complete the activity with a warm bowl of soup at the Conservation Office afterwards. Bring a crock pot of soup to share with others after the hike. Our Naturalist will supply some mild chili, chicken and noodle soup, and crackers. If there is no snow we will still have a hike on the park trails. Feel free to bring your own snowshoes to participate as we have a limited number of snowshoes.
