WILDLIFE WEEKEND

If you enjoy spending time with friends, colleagues, and nature-loving people, this winter getaway is for you! MAEOE's Annual Wildlife Weekend promises fun, entertainment, and hands-on learning across a variety of indoor and outdoor habitats. Choose one of two immersive tracks for the weekend:

Nature, Art, and Photography

Get tips and tricks on outdoor photography whether it be landscapes, wildlife, or recreation. You will have plenty of time to go outdoors choose your favorite winter subjects, and learn how to improve your photography technique. In addition, you will learn how to photograph and draw a simple object in nature and expand it out to an entire landscape.

Songbirds in the Snow

Have some winter fun learning bird identification basics, the best places to find birds in Michigan, and how to use phone apps while birding. We will practice winter birding skills with hikes at local birding hotspots including the Houghton Lake Flats and Hartwick Pines State Park.
