Snowshoe hike planned at nature center

   ANSONIA - Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center assistant director Ali Rubelmann will lead a guided snowshoe hike along trails at the center from 2-4 p.m. Feb. 4.
  On a cold, clear, crisp day, as you move silently through the woods and fields, listen for the musical notes of chickadees calling and perhaps a red-bellied woodpecker drumming on a dead tree.
    Winter is the best time to see tracks and participants will be able to look for those of white-tailed deer, raccoons, skunks, red foxes and coyotes.
    This program is designed for adults and older children.  A limited number of snowshoes, best suited for children, is available.   
    Call 203-736-1053 to register for this free program. A hike will be substituted in the event there is no suitable snow. The center is at 10 Deerfield Road.
