Spencer, Iowa — Four northwest Iowa organizations are co-sponsoring a “Winter Women in Nature Day.”
Amy Heibult of the Dickinson County Nature Center says the event is scheduled for Saturday, January 11th.
One of the morning sessions is about something that comes from North American maple trees.
In the afternoon, participants can choose from one of two outdoor activities.
Registration for the event closes next Wednesday, January 8th. It’s sponsored by the county conservation boards in Clay and Dickinson County, the Iowa Lakeside Lab and ISU Extension. According to the Outdoor Recreation Association, 55 percent of Americans over the age of four engaged in some outdoor activity last year — an all-time high.
