   Join families and winter romantics next weekend at the Aldo Leopold Nature Center 's Black Earth Campus to celebrate this month's program, Owl You Need Is Love ! The event, from 1pm-3pm next Sunday, February 13, will celebrate the winter courtship of Wisconsin's owls, who spend the cold dark nights of winter concentrating on romance, and are some of the few animals to be sitting on a nest of eggs by Valentine's Day! At ALNC's Black Earth Campus (about 20 minutes west of Madison), your family will participate in an owl watching hike, learn about different owl calls, meet a live owl and participate in owl craft activities. Learn more about the event on ALNC's Nature Notes blog. See you there!
