- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 02 Feb, 2026 at 04:30 pm – Mon, 02 Feb, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us for our annual winter event, “Wander at the Wetland: Full Moon Snowshoe &amp; Hike” on Monday, Feb. 2, 2026 at Nygren Wetland Preserve (3190 W. Rockton Rd., Rockton, IL). This free family friendly event is an open house style affair that will start at 4:30 p.m. and end at 8:00 p.m. All ages will enjoy the winter landscape of the prairies and wetlands while walking, snowshoeing or skiing along a trail lined with hundreds of luminaries.

The trail is under a mile and folks can warm up at the start of the trail with a bonfire and about halfway around it at the wetland bonfire. Hikers can walk the trail on their own and will be encouraged to listen for night sounds and look for the glow of the Full Moon in the night sky and signs of wildlife. Staff and volunteer guides will be stationed along the trail to talk about that part of the preserve.

Luminaries are sponsored by NorthPointe Health and Wellness Campus. Provided there is snow, snowshoes are available to rent at the event for a $10 donation to NLI and are sponsored by Rocktown Adventures. Attendees may bring their own snowshoes or skis.

Refreshments such as hot cocoa, cookies and snacks will be available at the red barn where the check-in and resting tables are located. This is a snow or no snow event and takes place outdoors. Everyone is encouraged to dress for the weather and wear boots.

Registration for this free event is requested by Sun., Feb. 1, 2026.
