Field to Fork: A Wildlife Experience

Local food purchased directly from a producer or harvested yourself is a big social movement happening across our country and it’s becoming more important to know where our food comes from. This onsite event, “Field to Fork - A Wildlife Experience", offered by the Izaak Walton League of America, Mt. Healthy Chapter provides a sampling of that understanding. It occurs on Saturday, April 1 from 9:00am - 12:30pm at Cincinnati Parks' Caldwell Nature Center, 430 West North Bend Rd, 45216. A $10 program donation is requested per person; there is no fee for the food provided. Each participant should register individually. Only 25 spots left; register now at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/women-sharing-the-outdoors-field-to-fork-a-wildlife-experience-registration-588457812157 Instructors, mostly female, offer three rotating stations: WILD GAME TASTING: Discover the history of wildlife in Ohio and the nutrition wild game offers plus taste a variety of local game animals harvested in Ohio. Know the story behind your meal. FISH FILLETING: Learn how to properly prepare and fillet your native fish caught at the local lake or purchased at the grocery store, mouth to tail. All supplies are provided. BASIC ANIMAL SIGNS SKILLS HIKE: During a hands-on hike in the woods, gain skills in calling wildlife, identify signs of animal activity and delight in learning lesser known facts of our local fauna. Staff from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) facilitate the first two stations noted above. The hike is led by certified trained Naturalists. Participants can opt out of any station if desired; no pressure, no stress. Folders with educational materials regarding the day's activities are provided to each participant. Door prizes are drawn at the end of the event. Women Sharing the Outdoors program is designed to provide a FUN and supportive atmosphere where women (and girls ages 16 +) feel comfortable learning outdoor skills from female instructors. The encouraging, hands-on and non-competitive learning environment builds confidence in our participants from all abilities and backgrounds.
