On Saturdays with snow from December 3, 2005 to February 1, 2006, a limited number of free snowshoes will be available for use from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Jennings Environmental Center 12 miles north of Butler on Route 528. What a great way to explore the snowy landscape and to keep fit during the winter months. Brief instruction is provided. A staff guided snowshoe hike is offered every Saturday at 1 p.m.
Snowshoes are available to borrow on a first come/first served basis when there is at least three inches of snow cover. A valid driver's license must be provided in order to loan. For more information, call (724) 794-6011.
Jennings Nature Reserve was originally protected by WPC in the 1960s because of important plant and animal species and habitats found there. Today, this state park facility remains a showcase of biodiversity management on state land.
