Buchanan County Conservation Moonlight Snowshoe
February 23
Moonlight Snowshoe (Or Star Party if no snow)
Friday, Feb. 23rd @ 5:30 p.m
Ham Marsh – 1747 Indiana Ave, Independence
Cost: $5/person or $15/family
A wide open skyline over the prairie at Ham Marsh should give a wonderful chance to enjoy the almost full moon and the activities of nocturnal visitors at the prairie and marsh. May have the chance to try snowshoeing on the half mile trail over a gentle rise and back to the Marsh and bird blind. All ages welcome.
If the weather continues its above normal seasonal warmth, they can explore the beauty of a winter evening and discuss the mythology and science of some of the winter stars and constellations. Participants will meet at the parking area and may need to park along the edge of the gravel road near there.
