November 19, 2008 The Waynedale News Staff 0 min read

Little River Wetlands Project, a local nature organization, welcomes Soaring Hawk Raptor Rehabilitators for a free presentation and hike at Eagle Marsh on Wednesday, November 19, 6:30-8 pm. Meet Sherman the short-eared owl and Whodini the screech owl before venturing out to try to attract some of the owls that live at Eagle Marsh. If it rains, Soaring Hawk will bring more raptors to see indoors. Join us at the Eagle Marsh barn (south side of Engle Road 1/2 mile east of W. Jefferson Blvd., Fort Wayne) for this exciting presentation and night hike. Be sure to dress for the weather.

Its mission is to restore and protect wetlands in the Little River watershed southwest of Fort Wayne and to provide educational programs that inspire and challenge individuals to be good stewards of all natural resources.
