December at the Pequest Trout Hatchery and Natural Resource Education Center

Ready for some winter fun? Join the Pequest Trout Hatchery and Natural Resource Education Center staff this December for some winter-themed programs!

Holiday Fly Tying December 4, December 11, December 18
The Holiday Fly is a highly effective fly to tie. No house should be without one and it is guaranteed to catch a smile. This fly also makes an amazing gift for the angler who has everything. Let the staff at the Pequest Natural Resource Education Center walk through the tying process of the fly. At the end, you will then get to take the fly home that you will tie. All tools and materials will be supplied. If you would like to bring your personal tools and vice you are welcome to. There is a $10.00 donation fee to cover materials for this program. For ages 12 years and above. Participants 16 years and younger must be accompanied by a participating adult.

December 13 - Nature Nurturers  Winter Sleep – A Hibernation Story@ 10:00 a.m. – 10:45 a.m.
Join us for story and craft time! Each month, Pequest Natural Resource Education Center staff will read a nature-based book. After the story, we will create a craft with you to take home. The program is 45 minutes long. For ages 3-6 years.

December 21 - Winter Solstice Stroll @ 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
Join Pequest Natural Resource Education staff on December 21st for a short hike on the shortest day of the year. We will explore the diverse habitat of the Pequest valley. Bundle up for a 2-mile hike on our trails as we move through woods, fields, and aquatic environments. Who knows what we may find? If the holiday season has you stressed, then a walk in the woods is the perfect way to unwind. We will be outside the entire time so dress appropriately for the prevailing weather conditions. For ages 10 years and above. We will be moving on trails that are not suitable for wheeled conveyances.
