  • make your own personalized walking stick for your next hike
  • make a winter bird-food pine-cone treat for your backyard
  • identify animal footprints and see animal pelts and learn about trapping
  • make a fishing lure for spring trout season
  • make a fun turkey call
  • learn some archery skills and spin-casting skills, outdoors –  despite the snow!
  • enjoy meeting like-minded community service volunteers, share some your outdoor experiences and education, and meet new friends
  • be a lucky drawing winner for donated outdoor gifts
  • pickup outdoor literature for fishing, youth hunting programs, recreation areas, and lots more
