Free guided snowshoe hike at Holmboe near Rhinelander

Join Northwoods Land Trust (NWLT) for this free guided snowshoe walk on Thursday, March 5 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at the Holmboe Conifer Forest State Natural Area located in the city of Rhinelander.

According to NWLT land conservation associate Frank Schroyer in a press release: “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, please register online at www.northwoodslandtrust.org and click on News & Events by Monday, March 3. Space is limited.
