WinterFest Celebration

Bundle up in your coziest coats, hats and scarves and head out to Cheney for this annual celebration of the winter season at the scenic Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge. A day full of public events includes guided refuge wildlife tours (9 am and 1 pm), hands-on activities for kids, a chili potluck lunch and an important presentation by Gonzaga University professor of philosophy and environmental studies Brian Henning titled “Climate Change and Our Way Forward.” Make sure to make your reservations online for one of the day’s hosted refuge tours before you head out. It’s also a good idea to bring your cameras and binoculars in the likely chance you see some of Turnbull’s many wild residents including lots of migratory bird species, as well as moose, elk, deer and more.
