Naturally Friends: Owl Talk

Howell Living History Farm’s 2020 “Naturally Friends” wildlife series will open on Thursday, March 12, when Mercer County Wildlife Center Director Diane Nickerson presents “An Evening of Owls,” a program about some of New Jersey’s most important raptors.

Held inside a barn similar to ones where owls can sometimes be found, the family-oriented event showcases one of farmers’ best friends through a talk that includes an encounter with live owls. During the presentation, visitors will learn why owls — and especially Barn owls — are known for their exceptional hunting skills and their ability to control rodent populations, and how we can help preserve the nesting sites essential for their survival. Parking and admission are free, donations are accepted.
