The Ridges Sanctuary Celebrates the Holidays with Natural Christmas

In the first week of December at The Ridges Sanctuary, there are a number of events to start the holiday season.

On Dec. 3 at 6:30 pm, go on a night sky hike. A hike at The Ridges is nice anytime, but a night walk can be amazing. On this night, the moon will be visible by only a sliver in the sky, creating spectacular conditions for viewing objects in the sky. Hikers will stop at key vantage points to enjoy celestial wonders. Round out the evening with a campfire and hot chocolate back at Kaye and Marshall cabins. Meet at the Ridges Cabins, 8288 County Q. Fees are $5 members, $8 public and free for kids.

A Wreath-Making Workshop will be Dec. 3, 1-4 pm, at the Ridges Workshop at 8288 County Q. Participants will use natural items collected from woods, fields and yards to create their own beautiful wreath. The $10 fee includes all materials for one wreath. Additional wreaths and swags cost $5. Call 920.839.2802 to reserve a spot.

Spend a few hours this holiday season surrounded by the natural beauty of The Ridges Sanctuary at their Natural Christmas, Dec. 10 from 3 to 6 pm. Stroll down the softly lit Hidden Brook Boardwalk and visit the decorated Kaye Cabin and sip on warm cider, eat delicious cookies and listen to holiday music. This program offers a wreath-making workshop, holiday crafts, and even marshmallows and chestnuts around the open fire. Guided hikes and tours of the Range Light are available throughout the event.

Natural Christmas will be held at the Ridges Cabins, 8288 County Q. This event is free and open to all. Wreath making is $10; additional wreaths and swags are $5.
