SUMMARY:Spring Migration Watch @ Hall's Lake Natural Area
DESCRIPTION:Join us in witnessing the spring migration as vernal pool obligate species return to their ancestral breeding grounds on the first warm\, rainy evenings of the season. These amphibians show immense site fidelity\, most returning to the same pools they were born in.\n\nWe expect to see Spotted Salamanders and Wood Frogs at this site. Eastern Red-backed Salamander\, Four-toed Salamander\, Northern Leopard Frog\, Green Frog\, Northern Spring Peeper\, and Eastern American Toad are other amphibian species at this property that may be active. There is always a risk of not seeing our target species\, but we believe time in nature is never wasted!\n\n**This event is weather-dependent and subject to change.** Currently we are looking at favorable conditions this Friday evening\, but we may bump it to Saturday if that day looks better!\n\nBring a flashlight or headlamp. Rubber boots are recommended. Please disinfect boots with a 3% bleach solution prior to coming out. Because we want to mitigate negative impacts during this sensitive time\, we are requiring registration and limited attendance to ten people. Email autumn@cwc-mi.org to register.\n\n**Please be aware on the drive to the preserve that amphibians are on the move everywhere and often are traveling across roads to reach their wetlands. Be mindful on the roads that we do not increase mortalities as we observe these animals.**\n\nDirections to the preserve: http://bit.ly/Halls-Lake-Natural-Area\n\n\n\nShareEmailTwitterFacebookRedditTumblrPinterestLinkedIn

SUMMARY:Groundhog Day Animal Signs Hike @ Hall's Lake Natural Area
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a winter hike through the woods of Hall’s Lake Natural Area on Sunday\, February 2nd at 1:00PM.  We’ll look for animal tracks and other sign along the lakeshore\, on the edge of wetlands and on the trails.  With a wide variety of habitats\, Hall’s Lake Natural Area probably hosts the widest variety of wildlife species of any Chippewa Watershed Conservancy property. \nWill we see a groundhog?  It’s very unlikely; they are sensibly hibernating at the time. \nDirections to the preserve: https://bit.ly/Halls-Lake-Natural-Area \nShareEmailTwitterFacebookRedditTumblrPinterestLinkedIn

SUMMARY:January Not-Quite-Full Moon Hike
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, January 11th at 7:00PM for a hike under the (almost) full moon at our Sylvan Solace Preserve.\n\nWe know the moon won’t be full until the 13th but that’s a Monday and we’d rather hike on a Saturday evening! By hiking on the 11th the moon will already be at 39 degrees above the horizon at 7PM versus only 17 degrees above the horizon at the same time on the 13th so we should have a much better view of it. Besides\, we don’t think most of us will notice the difference between a moon at 99.2% illumination (on the 13th) and one at only 96.1% illumination (on the 11th)…\n\nThis social hike is for everyone! We’ll hike along an approximately 1.2 mile loop on the flat trails at Sylvan Solace with several stops along the way.\nDirections to the preserve: http://bit.ly/SylvanSolacePreserve\n\n\nShareEmailTwitterFacebookRedditTumblrPinterestLinkedIn
