Spend the evening with OSU Extension’s Marne Titchenell and Carrie Brown as we go on the prowl for Ohio’s owls! Join us for hot drinks and tasty treats, as we chat about owl species and ecology, then hike into the woods to call in these silent hunters. This is a family-friendly event with an owl craft and activity! Be sure to bundle up as we will be outdoors the whole event. Feel free to bring blankets to keep warm during a presentation on Ohio's owls. We are also hoping to welcome Ohio Nature Education with live owls, but this will be weather permitting. 

Presenter: Dr. Shoshanah Inwood Learn about out the unique challenges farmers face in accessing affordable quality childcare. This interactive breakout session will include an overview of national USDA and CDC funded research findings examining how access to childcare and health insurance affects farm economic development, child farm safety, and farm family quality of life. We’ll discuss the types of solutions farmers identified, new tools to assist farmers and communities with childcare solutions, and collectively develop strategies you can use to effectively engage farmers and community members in developing childcare solutions.
