SUMMARY:Hunter Education Class
DESCRIPTION:Hunter Education Class\nApril 4th – 5-8 PM\nApril 5th – 9-4\nPre registration is required\nFREE\n\nHunter education is a mandatory program that is designed to introduce students to several lifelong skills that are important to many different types of outdoor recreational opportunities. The course teaches students basic survival and first aid skills\, outdoor safety\, wildlife identification\, the basics of wildlife management\, hunting laws\, and firearm/archery safety. Hunter education also stresses the importance of individual responsibility and outdoor ethics. The safety\, recruitment\, and retention of hunters are important in continuing the tradition of hunting in Iowa’s GREAT Outdoors!\nThis class is prioritized for students 12 years old and older. Adults are welcome to stay with their youth student through the class\, but it is not required.\nStudents are asked to bring a sack lunch and something to drink on Friday and Saturday\, as the course will continue through meal hours.\nPLEASE WEAR/BRING OUTDOOR GEAR as we will go outside during different portions of instruction. All other teaching materials\, firearms\, & safety equipment will be provided.\nThis is a CLASSROOM COURSE and does not count as a field day. Students must successfully complete BOTH days to earn their certificate.\nFriday\, April 4th\, 5-8PM\nSaturday\, April 5th\, 9AM-4PM\nThis class is FREE\, but is limited to 20. Students NEED to pre-register by registering online with the Go Outdoors Iowa Event Registration System.\nPlease visit: www.gooutdoorsiowa.com to log in or create a new account. Once logged in\, you can find and register for the class under “Events/Classes—Search Events” in the upper left area of the page. You can also sign up here: https://license.gooutdoorsiowa.com/Event/EventsHome.aspx\nYou can also call Chelsea at (641) 330-0765 for assistance with registration.\nPlease Note: When you are registering a child for this course\, please be sure to log in as the child you are wishing to register or create an account for that child\, and do not log in or register as yourself unless you are also wanting to take the course yourself for certification. Students who have previously purchased Iowa DNR licenses or tags\, such as youth deer tags\, will already have an Iowa DNR account and should register for this course using their personal information. \nIowa law requires that anyone born after January 1\, 1972 must be certified in hunter education before they are eligible to purchase an Iowa hunting license.

SUMMARY:FIRST DAY HIKE
DESCRIPTION:FIRST DAY HIKE\n\nWant to add more outdoor time to your New Year’s resolutions? Join us for a beautiful afternoon First Day Hike! First Day Hikes are part of a nationwide initiative led by the American Hiking Society and America’s State Parks. Learn more about this tradition at https://americanhiking.org/first-day-hikes. This hike will meet at Robin’s Nest Wildlife Area\, just south of Highway 9 on Indigo Avenue. We will take a leisurely hike through the property while Naturalist Chelsea points out winter wildlife wonders along the way. We hope you join us to savor the beauty of Mitchell County’s natural resources and be inspired to take advantage of these local treasures all throughout the year.\n\nHiking during the winter can be fun as long as you prepare with these tips:\n\n\nDress in layers you can peel off or put on when you stop and go on the trail. Your base layer should be a wicking fabric that will pull sweat away from the skin. Don’t forget your gloves!\n\n\nWear a hat! During the colder months it is important to keep your head covered to maintain function and not lose precious body heat.\n\n\nStay Hydrated! Keep your water bottle warm – carry it in your coat\, or use an insulating sleeve like a koozie to help prevent water from freezing.\n\n\nDon’t toss the sunscreen! Winter hikers often forget about the sun’s glare reflecting off of white snow.\n\n\nBe prepared for shorter days. Have a good idea of usable daylight hours and always carry a headlamp or flashlight with extra batteries.\n\n\nWear bright clothing. It will help you stand out against the leaves and snow\, especially during hunting seasons.\n\n\nAlways tell someone where you are going and when you plan to be back.
