Maze Harvest for Mercer County Wildlife Center at the Go Hog Wild Maze

The harvest program will be held at Howell Farm's Go Hog Wild Maze, located at the Belle Mountain Ski Area, on Valley Road, just off Route 29, two miles south of Lambertville, New Jersey.

It isn't too late to test your skills in Howell Living History Farm's Maze, but now the challenge is to pick the corn..not find your way out of it.

The picking party will benefit the Mercer County Wildlife Center, which will use the corn to feed its injured and orphaned wildlife. The maze is also open; entry is from noon until 5:00pm.

The public is invited to participate in the harvest, which will feature a wildlife program, corn picking and feed mixing activities, food and wagon rides. Admission to the picking activity and wildlife demonstration is free. There is a charge for food, rides, and entrance to the maze.

Wildlife presentations will take place at noon and 1:30pm. During the presentations, naturalists from the Mercer County Wildlife Center will introduce visitors to animals and explain how the center works.
