Friday March 13

Friday March 27
6:30 PM WOODCOCK WATCH – Is this just another “snipe hunt”? No. What is an American Woodcock and why would I want to watch one? Well…this bird has one of the most elaborate courtship rituals of many of Ohio’s avian friends and one of the most intriguing to observe. Bring along a pair of binoculars and meet the naturalist in the Conkle’s Hollow parking lot to find out. (Unfortunately, this bird is weather-dependent so keep your fingers crossed for clear skies.)

Saturday March 28
10:00 AM *THE WONDERS of OLD MAN’S CAVE - Meet the naturalist at the Naturalist Cabin for a short hike and discover some facts about the history of the area and the rock formations that are found throughout the park.
2:00 PM HOCKING’S WILDLIFE at the CABIN– As you pass by on your hike today stop by the Naturalist Cabin located behind the Old Man’s Cave visitor center to explore and for a closer look at some of our native residents. Naturalist will be available to explain and answer questions.
