Take a hike at Ansonia Nature Center to start new year

ANSONIA - Why not usher in 2014 getting some exercise and fresh air at the Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center?

At 10 a.m. on New Year's Day Ranger Marty Wigglesworth will lead a brisk walk through the park's frosty landscape.

Start your new year off right by resolving to spend more time outdoors, even in winter.
Dangerous walking conditions will cancel the hike, but in the event of deep snow the center has snowshoes available.

Call 203-736-1053 to register for this free program.



Nature's Child: Snow

At 10:30 a.m. Jan. 3 bring your preschooler to Nature's Child, a monthly program for ages 3 to 5 accompanied by an adult.

This month the theme will be snow. Join naturalist Wendy Sabol to learn about and play with snow.
Take a brisk walk to catch snowflakes on your tongue and learn how each snowflake is unique.

After the walk return to the nature center where a winter craft is planned, and warm up with hot cocoa.
Tuition is $6 per family; $4 for Ansonia residents and family-level member of Friends of the Ansonia Nature Center, Inc.

To register, call 203-736-1053.

The center is at 10 Deerfield Road.
