Bundle up and stay inside, or you can actually get outside, explore and enjoy the winters in Michigan at Pierce Cedar Creek Institute.
There are a wide variety of events taking place at Pierce Cedar Creek over the new few weeks to get people out and active.
The annual Winterfest celebration is on January 29 from 1-4 p.m. Winter fun activities include building and testing a cardboard sled (or bring your own), rent snowshoes for a hike, bringing ice skates to enjoy the rink, making an animal tracks book and looking for tracks, go on a lichen hunt, and many more winter activities.
There will also be a guided winter tree ID hike from 1-2:30 p.m. during Winterfest.
Most activities are free except for the tree ID hike and snowshoe rental. Each is free for members and $5 for non-members.
