Halloween 2008
Last Saturday the annual Halloween celebration at Tinker Nature Park was a huge success! We would like to thank all the volunteers from Burger Middle School, Roth Middle School, Sperry High School, Bishop Kearney, the R-H Interact Club, Youth Asset Team, Tinker Homestead Docents, Friends of Hansen Nature Center, and Boy Scout Group 332 and their parents.
Barb Hasbrouck tells guests about the way funerals used to be in Victorian times
The undead provide entertainment in the homestead
Volunteers provide frights in the haunted barn
The woodland wander gave visitors a chance to meet nocturnal animals on the trails

Bat boxes and Display
A huge thank you to Eagle Scout Chris Nelson of Troop 750 for picking Tinker Nature Park as the site for his Eagle project. Chris made 5 bat boxes and a bat display board for the park! Three of the boxes can be found in the marsh, one by the pond, and the other is on display inside the Hansen Nature Center.
Chris, with the help of the Henrietta Parks Department, installing the boxes
In this climate, bat boxes should be stained black to capture the most heat
Come to the Hansen Nature Center to learn all about bats!
