Snowshoe hike at Holmboe Conifer Forest State Natural Area

The Northwoods Land Trust (NWLT) is inviting the public to participate in a free guided snowshoe walk on Tuesday, March 5 from 1-2:30 p.m. at the Holmboe Conifer Forest State Natural Area located in the city of Rhinelander.  

According to NWLT Outreach Coordinator Troy Walters the “32-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 animals signs we can find along the way.”

Participants will be snowshoeing on trail for about a mile. Participants need to bring their own snowshoes. 

To register for the event, go to https://northwoodslandtrust.org/ and click on News & Events, contact the NWLT office at 715-479-2490 or email [email protected] by Monday, March 4. 

Space is limited.
