From Tuesday, December 3, through Sunday, December 29, visitors are invited to participate in the Tree Hike at Lowe-Volk Park, located at 2401 State Route 598. As participants stroll through the park, they will encounter laminated trees, each displaying a line of a poem. Those who complete the hike during office hours can stop by the front desk of the Nature Center to collect a prize. The Nature Center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Lowe-Volk Park is situated three miles north of US Route 30.

On Thursday, December 5, the park will also host Homeschool in Nature: Winter Birds. Sessions will be held at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at Lowe-Volk Park. Homeschoolers will take a walk to observe winter birds and discuss their diets. Participants will also have the opportunity to make a feeder to help support local bird populations. The program is designed for children aged 5 to 12. To register, call the Crawford Park District at 419-683-9000.
