Members of Friends of Reinstein Woods enjoyed lunch together with a special presentation by Hawk Creek Wildlife Center earlier this month. Guests saw animals such as a striped skunk, porcupine, opossum, red-tailed hawk, screech owl, and turkey vulture during this engaging presentation. The younger ones even got to feed the porcupine carrots on a stick! The afternoon concluded with a visit from Santa. This event is an example of the great member-only programs we offer. See a list of our upcoming Member – Only Programs here.

More than 50 members of the Friends of Reinstein Woods attended our Holiday Party. Friends enjoyed Soup, Chili, salad, and an assortment of appetizers and desserts. Earth Spirit gave a great presentation focused on live animals. Visitors were able to see a chinchilla, tree frogs, hissing cockroaches, a bearded dragon, and other animals up close during this presentation. There was even a visit from Santa, who posed for pictures holding Earth Spirit’s corn snake!
