Plants not sold on Saturday will be available for sale on Sunday. This year’s seminars include two classes by Paul Car-michael, Co-director of the Beech Creek Botanical Garden and Nature Preserve. Classes include: Perennials: Planning, Planting and Maintenance; Milkweed: One Important Weed; Plant Propagation: Seeds, Cuttings and Divisions; and Gardening with Native Plants. Classes are $5.00 each. See page 5 for class descriptions. You can pre-register now or register on the day of the sale. A free Wildflower Walk by TWC Botanizers will begin at 1 PM for a chance to enjoy the day’s blooms! Check out www.wildernesscenter.org for a complete plant list and the colorful on-line guide with plant photos and information. Please join us in this conservation mission of using our backyards as conservation areas!

The Wilderness Center From the EYES & PENCILS of

STUDENTS

As a retired elementary school teacher and now a docent (volunteer leader of programs) at The Wilderness Center, I was touched by the charm and sincerity of a packet of hand written letters from a Tuslaw Middle School class of 5th graders who spent a day in October visiting the Center and participating in classes led by the staff and other docents (including me). They learned about recycling by making paper, the reason for the seasons by viewing stars at the planetarium, and actually experienced the weightlessness of the moon’s surface with the moon walk. Here are excerpts from some of the letters, just as they were written. They might just brighten your day and touch your heart. thank you for doing the moon walk it was awsome it made my parent’s jellis. It’s all just so beautiful, all of the trees and animals. I’m going to Beg my parents to come here on my Birthday. the Wilderness Center is sooo Beautiful it just makes me melt. I’m writing to you because you all helped us in education. Your a lot smarter than other people. I enjoyed the planetairium show alot. I didn’t even know that there is different constellations each season! the red lights wear weird. the papermaking was very interesting, and I will start to spread the word about recycling.

whoever is reading this, tell everyone how good of a job they did. The minidock needs more fish and less ducks and ecspecciclly less geese poop. I had fun doing all the stuff. Even though my legs hurt when we did the moon walk. One thing that was really fun was the stories about the constalations. I liked when we did the golf ball shadows. Words could not describe the fun time I had. I also liked how we took paper rippit it up and made paper again! thank you for letting me open the roof of the planetarium. that was the best Feild trip ever. My favorite station was the moon jump. After I was done my legs felt dizzy and numb. I like lunch but the bees wanted my food like it was honey We appreciate you guys letting us come back every year. I liked the papermaking because it was a new thing for me. At first I thought you were crazy to make paper of your own. So thank you for that. And thank you all of those volenteers because you used your money to get to the Wilderness Center and waist your whole day doing things for us. The planetairum was cool and I liked the stories you told there. You guys are so amazing and you keep the Wilderness Center clean. I really hope to come next month with my family. I didn’t like the bees at the lunch area they tried to eat all my food. In paper making I liked it when we put them (torn paper) into the blender and mixed it up and came out goey and weird. thank you so much for All of that cool stuf that we made, learened, and Did !! I never new that if you recycled paper for 1 year the stack would be a 2 storryed Biulding. Now thats cool. I can’t wait to learn new Stuff next year. I was woundering what grade number do you stop taking us. I have went to the Wilderness Center about seven times now. Maybe next year my new record will be eghit times. A sincere THANK YOU to all of you who support TWC with your membership, donations, participation in our activities and especially the many volunteers. You help pass a priceless love of nature on to the next generation, Arlene Nussbaum , Docent & Board Member

Snake Myths- Part 2

The ODNR is Dropping Rattlesnakes from Planes to Control the Turkey Population

While this particular rumor seems to circulate mainly in the Ohio, Kentucky and Virginia area, rumors about the secretive re-establishment of venomous snakes are per-vasive. Wildlife agencies are not using rattlesnakes to control turkey populations, and they are certainly not dropping them from airplanes – even low flying ones.

You Can Tell a Venomous Snake by the Diamond Pattern on Its Back

Although some venomous snakes (rattlesnakes) do have diamond patterns, others (coral snakes) do not. Also, some non-venomous snakes (water snakes) have a distinct dia-mond pattern. It is important to learn the other characteris-tics of venomous snakes (elliptical pupils, pits in addition to nostrils, single scales in the underside of the tail, etc.). The most efficient way to distinguish venomous from non-ven-omous snakes is to learn the species in your area and become familiar with those snakes’ distinguishing characteristics.

Snakes Sting Enemies with Forked Tongues and Pointed Tails

Snakes don’t have “stingers” on either end. The soft, flicking tongue is used in odor detection and the tail is just that – a tail. Some snakes (wormsnakes) do have hardened, pointed scales on their tails. However, these scales do not have venom and are not dangerous.

Nature Book Discussion Club

The Needle Crafters are meeting on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 10 AM. Come to the next meeting, bring your project and join us!

Join other families who love nature for an afternoon of adventure at The Wilderness Center. Fun for kids of all ages. Each meeting the Club explores a different part of TWC’s property. Monthly Club meetings will continue in the spring.

As the winter days pass quickly, club members look forward to monthly walks. Spring is always our favorite time of year. As always, if interested in joining our club, new members are welcome. We have information about our club in the TWC Interpretive Building on the club display boards. Please plan to join us on an afternoon walk April 27 at 1PM at the TWC. This is the day of the Annual Native Plant Sale sponsored by the Center, and the Botanizers want to show you some of those plants grow-ing out along the trail. This walk is open to all and is a free event. Hope to see you then! Until next report, hold on to the hope of spring. Sandy Smith Club President

We held our bi-monthly chat at Hog Heaven in New Philadelphia. There were only 15 cachers in attendance, but a good time was had by all. Food was great and so was the geochatting! Thanks to Bob and Mary Ann Conner for hosting! Our next chat will be in March. Neither the time nor the place has been chosen yet. Watch geocaching.com for details. For information on geocaching or the club, please contact Rita at [email protected]

There are lots of spring hikes coming up... Please check them out at twchikers.com or come to the March meeting at 7:30 PM at the Wilder-ness Center on the 15th!

The Woodcarvers have contacted Channel 8 New Day Cleveland to come do a feature story on The Wilderness Center and the Woodcarvers Club. We are planning to have an all-day carving on Sat., Apr. 27. Anyone is welcome to come to check us out! Ike Huhns will be coming to speak to our club and show his hunting knives. Ike carves his own deer antler handles and forges the steel for his blades. Penny Gamble, Secretary/Treasurer

The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating by Elisabeth Tova Bailey is our book for March 2. Bailey was confined to bed by a mysterious and very debilitating illness. A friend brought her a plant which harbored a common snail. Bailey set out to observe the snail and learn as much as she could about it. This short book reflects the value of time spent with nature, even under such limiting conditions. The subject for April 6 is the Ohio author, Gene Logsdon. A nature writer as well as a source of practical cottage farming advice and cultural critique, he has been an extremely prolific author. We have selected three of his nonfiction works to choose from: The Contrary Farmer, A Sanctuary of Trees, and You Can Go Home Again. Read any one or all three. The Nature Book Club is an informal loosely-structured group without dues or memberships. You are welcome to attend, on a drop-in basis, any of our meetings that interest you. We meet the first Saturday of the month, 2-3:30 PM.

March evenings find the giant planet Jupiter shining bright in the western sky after sunset, in the constellation Taurus the Bull. Later, the magnifi-cent ringed planet Saturn joins the show, rising in the east about 10 PM. Join the Astronomy Club on the first Friday of each month at 8 PM for a planetarium show and Public Star Watch. We will explore Jupiter, Saturn and other celestial wonders in the late winter sky. Astronomy Club meetings are held on the last Friday of each month. We have eliminated membership dues for the club. We wish to invite all Wilderness Center members to our club meetings. Join the club, and share our love of the night sky. Check our web site at www.twcac.org for current news and like us on our new Facebook page.

In January, the Photo Club watched a video about outdoor gear and ac-cessories for the nature photographer. We learned about basic items that come in handy on a photo field trip without getting weighed down by heavy equipment. The monthly shooting competition “Winter Scenes” was won by Rita Boyd with a photo of her mother’s snow covered garden. Our next meeting is March 23rd at 9:30 AM.

At this time, Bird Club President Sue Evanoff is at Merritt Island, FL enjoying a vacation and some fabulous birding. I’m sure she will have lots of lists and pictures to share in the upcoming Bird Club newsletter. Please join the Bird Club and TWC at Shreve Migration on Sat., Mar. 16, 8 AM-4 PM. Also remember to join us for our annual Woodcock Walk on Thursday, Mar. 20, at 7 PM in the TWC parking lot. There will be no regular monthly bird walk because of Shreve Migration this month. Until next month......may you always hear the whisper of wings.......

Endowment Gifts

Thank You Annual

Campaign Donors

The gift of life insurance is an easy and convenient way to support The Wilderness Center• The amount of your gift is certain, assuring that your desire to support TWC is met• The proceeds from a life insurance policy are paid promptly and are not part of the probate process• Life insurance is a “quiet” gift. It is not a matter of public record

There are three ways to make a gift to TWC using life insurance: with an existing policy, by beneficiary designation or with a new policy.

With an Existing PolicyDo you have a policy that was purchased several years ago, but the need for the coverage no longer exists? Instead of cash-ing in the policy, consider contributing the policy for the benefit of TWC. By changing the ownership and beneficiary of the policy to The Wilderness Center, you will receive a charitable income tax deduction. Additionally, if you were to continue to make future annual gifts of the policy’s premium, you will receive a charitable income tax deduction each year.

By Beneficiary DesignationPerhaps your need for life insurance coverage continues. Instead of making a gift of the policy, you can choose to designate TWC as the contingent beneficiary of the policy. TWC would receive the proceeds only if your other beneficiaries died before you did. If your need for life insurance continues, but at a lower level, name TWC as the beneficiary of the portion of the policy’s proceeds that are no longer needed.

With a New PolicyThrough the multiplier effect of life insurance, you can make a substantial gift to The Wilderness Center on the installment plan. When you purchase a new policy and name TWC as the owner and beneficiary, the gift you make of the premiums becomes fully tax deductible. Thus, for pennies on the dollar, you guarantee that TWC will receive a meaningful gift in the future. Barb Vitcosky, Development Director
