Open Door Bird Sanctuary will open its doors – so to speak – on Feb. 2, 11 am – 2 pm, to host its first winter “open day.” Executive Director Rob Hults said, “Many of our visitors ask about using the property in winter, so we are really excited to give everyone this opportunity.”

Stop by to enjoy snowshoeing, hiking or cross-country skiing on the sanctuary’s trails (take your own equipment). The trails, about two miles long among all three, are fairly level and traverse various landscapes. Of course, you can meet some of the resident raptors during your visit, and there will be a bonfire and warm beverages.

Admission is $3 per person. For more information, visit opendoorbirdsanctuary.org.
