Join McHenry County Conservation District for "Off Trail Adventures" from 1:30 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 3, at The Hollows Conservation Area, 3804 Route 14, Cary. This is offered only during the winter.

Frozen ground and less vegetative growth in the winter can open up areas to exploration that are impassable at other times of year. Dress for the weather and wear appropriate footwear for a rugged, off-trail, winter adventure. The group will venture beyond the trails to explore parts of the site that are normally inaccessible.

Registration and fee due by Thursday, Feb. 1. It is free for county residents and $2 for nonresidents. Program is for adults age 14 and older.

Register online at www.mccdistrict.org, by phone for free programs only at (815) 479-5779, by mail-in and drop-off at Prairieview Education Center, 2112 Behan Road in Crystal Lake, or drop-off only at Lost Valley Visitor Center, Route 31 and Harts Road in Ringwood.
