North Lakeland Discovery Center will be having a snowshoeing event on Friday, January 20th from 10:30 AM-12:00 PM. Have you ever experienced a true Northwoods Old Growth forest?  The 400-acre Van Vliet Hemlock parcel has more than 1 1/2 miles of shoreline. Its forested stand represents a rare remnant of the northern hardwood–hemlock forest, once the largest and most characteristic of northern WI. It retains many of the characteristics of old-growth forests, such as large live trees, snags, and large fallen trees.  We’ll tour through several forest types, and enjoy the unique beauty of one of the few remaining old growth hemlock forests in the state.  Meet at the East Van Vliet trail head, or carpool from the Discovery Center.  Members $5 – General Public $7.
