The Ridges Sanctuary in Baileys Harbor is inviting the public to explore Door County’s winter landscape with guided winter nature hikes running from January through March. Led by a Sanctuary naturalist, the hikes offer participants a chance to learn about the preserve’s unique ecosystems while discovering how plants and animals adapt to the colder months.
Hikes are scheduled on Fridays at 1:30 p.m. and Saturdays at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. During each outing, participants will head out on the Sanctuary’s trails to search for animal tracks, observe winter adaptations, and gain insight into the natural history of Wisconsin’s oldest land trust.
If conditions allow, snowshoes can be used for the hike with rentals available.
The hikes are available for a small fee, and free for youth ages 16 and under. Advance registration is recommended and encouraged by calling or visiting The Ridges Sanctuary website.
