Winter nature walk set for Jan. 17

Master Naturalists to lead hike in Ottawa woodland

More than a mile of trails weave through the trees at Nell's Woodland in Ottawa. Bird species inspired the names of the paths, which include Cardinal Trail, Hummingbird Trail, Robin Trail and Eagle Trail.

Illinois Master Naturalists will lead a winter nature walk from 11 a.m. to noon Jan. 17 at Nell’s Woodland in Ottawa.

The guided hike will teach participants how to identify trees without leaves, spot signs of wildlife, and learn about plant and animal adaptations that help them survive winter.

The walk is open to all ages and skill levels. Participants should dress for outdoor weather conditions.

Nell’s Woodland is located at 2000 Alexis Ave. in Ottawa.

Registration is required online at go.illinois.edu/WinterNatureWalk.
