Time for a W-A-L-K?
Dogs and their humans may join the park district for Hound Hikes this fall with Naturalist Karie Wheaton – no registration required. Participants of any hike will also get some tips from Cold Nose Companions Dog Training and take home a keepsake “Adventure Ready” dog scarf to remember it by.
Hikes are Oct. 19, from 10-11 a.m. at Swine Creek Reservation; Nov. 23, from 10-11 a.m. at The West Woods; and Dec. 21, from 12:30-1:30 p.m., a winter solstice hike at The West Woods.
Before coming out, pack a bowl with water, poop scoop or bags for cleanup and towels for paws. Only one dog is permitted to attend per handler; pets must be kept under control at all times on a leash not exceeding eight feet, and participants displaying aggression or excessive barking will be asked to leave.
What’s On Our Trail Cameras?
Oct. 24, 7-9 p.m.
By hiding a number of remote cameras throughout the parks, Geauga Park District naturalists have accrued a treasure trove of candid videos of local wildlife. Join for a presentation to view videos of otters, beavers, coyotes, deer and more at The West Woods Nature Center. Attendees will also learn information about setting up “camera traps” and other trailcam background.
How’s Your Aim?
Introduction to Archery is a prerequisite for future archery practice and games sessions, which all have full registration already this season. All archers must be at least 9 years old and 50 inches tall and wear closed-toe shoes. For the October programs, participants are asked to arrive to Chickagami Park at least 15 minutes early to allow for the walk from the parking lot to the range. Completion of a waiver may also be required onsite.
