Upcoming Events at Hale Reservation
FLIGHT OF THE WOODCOCK
Tuesday, April 1, 7pm - 8:30pm
The American Woodcock, one of our most bizarre and secretive forest-dwelling birds, possesses superior camouflage for its life of obscurity. However, for a short period of time in early spring, males will leave the safety of the forest to strut their stuff in a dazzling courtship display. Meet at the Hale Main Office. FREE
FLYING SQUIRREL ADVENTURES
Monday, April 7 - Thursday, June 5, 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. (select one night only)
Youth groups ages nine and up will enjoy playing games within the forest and then they will put on their harnesses and get ready to FLY!
