DNR Holding Snowshoe-Making Workshop in Escanaba Jan. 23

Agency: Natural Resources


Dec. 1, 2009

The Department of Natural Resources will host a snowshoe-making workshop on Saturday, Jan. 23, at the DNR's Pocket Park, located at 1111 US-2 in Escanaba on the Upper Peninsula State Fairgrounds.

The one-day workshop, led by DNR park interpreter Theresa Neal, will begin at 10 a.m. Participants will learn how to weave a pair of traditional white ash snowshoes that will last for generations.

"This is a unique opportunity to learn how to make a pair of snowshoes by hand," Neal said. "Not only is the workshop itself a fun experience, but snowshoeing also is an enjoyable way to get outdoors during the winter months. It's a great activity for all ages -- if you can walk, you can snowshoe!"

The workshop fee is $160, which includes all materials and equipment needed to make one pair of snowshoes. Class size is limited and reservations are required. To make a reservation, call Neal at (906) 492-3415.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is committed to the conservation, protection, management, accessible use and enjoyment of the State's natural resources for current and future generations.
