Winter is perfect for sledding at Olbrich Park Sled Hill near the mouth of Starkweather Creek on Lake Monona! Join Naturalist Paul Noeldner and Friends of Starkweather Creek for a free family friendly sledding party and nature walk or go sledding on your own to embrace the joy of winter! Some sleds will be provided, please bring a sled if you have one. Dress warm and enjoy a campfire with hot chocolate and smores! Did you know Wisconsin River Otters are expert sledders? They love to slide on snow and can swim long distances under water while holding their breath. Their extremely dense fur coats have thousands of tiny hairs per square inch that help shed water and keep them comfortably warm. Pretend you are an Otter and see how far you can slide in the snow! See http://tinyurl/MadisonFUNAdventures Fun Facts about Winter and Otters. Free, welcoming, diverse, fairly accessable, family and kid friendly, educational, no registration required, no pets. Third Saturday every month Bird and Nature Adventures along Starkweather Creek are co-sponsored by Madison FUN partners Madison Parks, Southern Wisconsin BIrd Alliance, Wild Ones, Goodman Community Center and Friends of Starkweather Creek.
