EVENT: 'Merdian Tackles Ice Fishing'



OUTREACH EVENT: 'Meridian Tackles Ice Fishing'

WHEN: This Saturday February 13 at the pond in the Meridian Historical Village. It will last from 8:30am ~ 12:00 p.m.
**We will meet behind the Natural Resources Building at 8:00a.m to figure out rides. Bring a vehicle if you have one.**

WHAT: This is a free fishing weekend in Michigan (don't have to have a license) so, we will be helping kids learn how to ice fish (teaching,helping,drilling,measuring,fixing poles) If you have never gone fishing/ice fishing yourself, this will also be a great opportunity for you to learn! Even if you don't wish to fish yourself, it will be a nice opportunity to get hands on experience with outreach. (which is obviously a very important aspect to our field)

WHAT TO BRING: Just warm clothes and your happy faces! (fishing gear if you'd like)

Note: You don't have to be a dues paying member to participate!
