Snowshoe Hike at Holmboe March 5

The public is invited to join Northwoods Land Trust (NWLT) for a free guided snowshoe walk from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Thursday, March 5 at the Holmboe Conifer Forest State Natural Area in Rhinelander. According to Frank Schroyer, NWLT Land Conservation Associate, “This 38-acre property along the Pelican River has been welcoming the public since it became a conservation area 1965, and later a designated State Natural Area. It is a great venue to snowshoe among old-growth hemlocks and see what other animal signs we can find along the way.”
Participants will be snowshoeing on trail for about a mile stopping numerous times to talk about the unique old-growth forest and other features of the area. Participants need to bring their own snowshoes. To register for the event, visit www.northwoodslandtrust.org. Space is limited.
