Did you know winter is a good time to learn how to identify migrating ducks? Well, suit up for this half-day program where we will travel to three different locations to see how many ducks we can find! After our duck-viewing adventure, we will end at Plum Creek Nature Center to view the Federal Duck Stamp Art Display while we get cozy by a fire, enjoy hot beverages and raffle off door prizes.
We will meet at Rock Run Rookery Preserve then drive to Monee Reservoir and finish at Plum Creek Nature Center. Participants are responsible for their own transportation.
Fee: Free!
Age: Ages 18 and older.
Registration required by Thursday, Jan. 15, by calling 708-946-2216 or online: https://anc.apm.activecommunities.com/fpdwc/activity/search/detail/9884?onlineSiteId=0&from_original_cui=true
Please dress for the weather.
Each hike will be less than 1 mile on terrain that may include uneven, natural surfaces. Plum Creek Nature Center is an accessible facility. Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service to participate in this program should submit a request online (https://www.reconnectwithnature.org/americans-with-disabilities-act-information/request-accommodation-inclusion-service/) no later than 48 hours before the program.
