Don't forget about Spring Break in March.   Exploratopia! Spring Break Camp is open for registration.  Registration is limited for camp, so sign up soon!

We are excited for the completion of this new addition. There's still work to be done outside, with the installation of an ADA accessible pathway and native garden, but we are happy to have the classroom complete and usable!  We are also excited about creating more opportunities for children to come out to Owl's Hill for FREE environmental education programs!  Holy Rosary Preschool is one of our Free Outdoor Education for Youth fund recipients, part of our effort to bring quality environmental education to all children in our community.

Thanks to everyone who gave their time and donations to make this project happen.  We couldn't have done it without your support!

On Tuesday, February 9, Owl's Hill and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency will be conducting a scheduled burn on the property, with back up dates set up for the 10th and 11th.  At this time, Owl's Hill will be closed. 

Scheduled burns are part of a sound wildlife management plan that takes the place of naturally occurring fires.  Controlled fires are vital to maintaining prairie and savanna ecosystems for the wildlife that depends on these types of habitats. Without these burns, the habitat would eventually revert to a forest. Past management practices have sought to extinguish fires, but we now know the important role that fires play in providing healthy habitat for wildlife.
