There's no better time to explore nature and take in it's glorious beauty than October! Join us for a walk through Howell Wetlands to spot migrating waterfowl, kettles of hawks, incoming winter residents, and some of our favorite year-round feathered friends. Please bring binoculars, if you have them. Meet Alex Gansmann in the main parking lot. This event is free and open to all.
It’s back! The 3rd annual Owl Prowl at Wesselman Woods takes flight on Sunday, October 26 from 10 AM – 2 PM! ðĶðŠķ
This community-favorite event helps care for the animal ambassadors who call Wesselman Woods home — from our majestic owls and curious reptiles to the furry (and not-so-furry) friends who help us teach thousands of visitors about the wild world around them.
Each year, the University of Evansville’s Chi Omega and FIJI chapters join forces to host this special fundraiser filled with fun activities, forest exploration, and friendly competition — all for a great cause. In 2025, these two Greek organizations are going head-to-head to see who can raise the most for the animals! ðŠðĒðĶ
ðïļ Free general admission for all visitors on event day — come enjoy educational booths, meet local organizations, and see how every step (and every dollar) makes a difference. ð Want to go the extra mile? Join the walk-a-thon and earn themed prizes while raising funds for the animals of Wesselman Woods! Walk-a-thon participants will receive themed prizes and be entered into a raffle for great prizes.
So grab your friends, bring your curiosity, and help us make this year’s Owl Prowl the biggest and best yet! ðģð
