Owl Hike

On Friday, September 8, First Presbyterian Church will hold its second annual Owl Hike.  The evening starts at 5:45 PM at Sortino’s Pizza (78th  & L) for food and fellowship.  Everyone is responsible for paying their own food bill. Then we travel to the Hitchcock Wetlands Learning Center.  The owl hike will be from 7:30 – 9:00 pm.

After a brief presentation by the Fontenelle Forest guide at 7:30 pm, we will begin our walk where the chances of finding and seeing owls in the woods are very good.   The trails are flat and handicapped accessible.  Please bring a flashlight.  Parking is available in the Gifford Farm Parking lot right across the road from the Wetlands Center.  The price for the guided hike is $9.50 for adults and $7.50 for children 2-17.  Members of Fontenelle Forest are free.

Best directions to Hitchcock Learning Center are:  13th Street South to Bellevue Blvd: left on Bellevue Blvd about a mile to Camp Gifford Road. (You go past the main Fontenelle Forest Nature Center Building). Turn left on Gifford Road and follow all the way to Gifford Farm/Hitchcock Wetlands Learning Center.  To join us, please contact the church by September 7.
