The Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center invites you to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the season to experience the peace and wonder of a winter walk in the woods. Taking place December 12, 13, and 14, stroll through the forest on a self-guided tour of trails lit by the soft glow of nearly 1,000 luminaria. After your walk, gather by the warmth of a festive fire at our Winter Café to enjoy complimentary hot cider or cocoa. Indulge in delicious snacks or treat yourself to holiday-themed beverages, including spiked hot chocolate or hot cider, wine, and more (available for purchase). Inside, join us for holiday-themed nature crafts.
