Celebrate Halloween at Dodge Nature Center’s Shepard Farm Property in Cottage Grove!

Come in costume to trick-or-treat through the woods, ride on the hay wagon to look for ghosts and goblins, and meet slithery creatures. Try your luck at field games to win extra treats, then settle in for some silly science skits that will educate and entertain. Food will be available for purchase while you are enjoying the fall fun.

Focused on Craft: Flax to Fiber
