February Vacation Events
at the
Wilton Wildlife Preserve & Park

The kids are out of school, and there is no better time to get outside!  During the school vacation from February 21st- 25th, Wilton Wildlife Preserve and Park will have daily programs geared toward reconnecting children with nature.  All programs are 10am-11:30am, except Monday 21st 10am-1pm. 

Monday Feb. 21st:  If you have been wanting to try out cross country skiing and/or snowshoeing but don’t have the gear, Alpine Ski shop will be at the Preserve & Park.  They will have sets of cross country skis available in adult and kids’ sizes to try free of charge on a first come, first served basis.  There will also be snowshoes for rent at $3.00 a pair (free for members of Wilton Wildlife Preserve & Park.).  Volunteers will be on hand to provide pointers.  Equipment will be available from 10am-1pm from the small building at the end of Parking Lot #1 at the Camp Saratoga location on Scout Road.

Tuesday Feb. 22nd:  There will be a 1 hour program where participants will be able to make crafts with natural material collected during a short hike.  For this program, please meet at the Winter Lodge located just past the kiosk along the blue trail that leaves from Parking Lot #1 at the Camp Saratoga location on Scout Road. 

Wednesday Feb 23rd: There will be a Movie Morning, featuring the classic Dr. Suess film, The Lorax.  This will take place at the Park Office at 80 Scout Road.

Thursday Feb 24th: Cocoa and cookies are the perfect accompaniment to nature stories that will be read by Lois Streit, previous host of WMHT’s “Short Takes”.  This program will take place at the Park Office at 80 Scout Road.

Friday Feb. 25th: This guided nature hike is geared towards families with school-aged children.  The focus will be signs of animals in winter. For this program, please meet at the kiosk along the blue trail that leaves from Parking Lot #1 at the Camp Saratoga location on Scout Road.
