A "Wild" Weekend in Ohio!

Print Comment
Ohio, like some other states, has had its share of whacky weather this winter. It is good in the sense that spring has sprung early, trees are greening up and flowers are already sprouting.

All of that makes buckeyes want to get out of the house and do something and here are just a few things coming up.


In Mansfield, the home of the Shawshank Redemption Trail, car racing, carousels and much more the 11th annual Mohican Wildlife Weekend will be taking place April 27-29 2012.


It is a celebration of wildlife habitat, heritage and natural history. Six program sites are featured throughout the counties of Ashland and Richland in north central Ohio. Visitors will find plenty of  workshops and demonstrations that are of interest to both beginning and experienced naturalists.

It is a weekend for the whole family and there are plenty of things to do for all the kids.

The theme is Predators of Ohio. Everyone will learn about animal identification and plenty of interesting facts are just part of the experience.

Birding boat tours, photographing birds of prey, nature crafts, wagon tours, geocaching, bat and owl demonstrations, fly fishing demonstrations and more is on the agenda of fun in the more than 30 sessions held throughout the weekend.


You do not need to register to attend, but just know that some programs are limited in space and that means first come first serve.

Whoo...wouldn't like a birding boat tour?
Tickets are needed for the tours and are $10.
