12/27/12 - With a number of kids home on break and a fresh snowfall, Livingston County residents and families are being encouraged to get outdoors and enjoy the seasonâs quiet nature. Thereâs been a lot of activity lately at the Kensington Farm Center where a new calf and four litters of tiny piglets were born recently. It's open to the public every day and also offers horse drawn wagon rides and sleigh rides. Metroparks Spokeswoman Denise Semion tells WHMI the attraction is available daily during the Christmas break and runs through New Yearâs Day. She says nature trails are open that are popular for watching wildlife, with some trails known for friendly chickadees that will take birdseed from your hand. Sledding hills are also located at Kensington but because ice and snow conditions vary from day to day, Semion says itâs always best to check ahead for park conditions. Closer to Pinckney at Hudson Mills Metropark, nature trails and interpretive programs are ongoing and the rapids near the North Territorial Road bridge are said to be popular for photography. For more information, call Kensington Metropark at 810-227-8910 or the Nature Center at 810-227-8917. Details can also be found through the link below. (JM)
