Join us for a winter wildlife walk!
snowshoeing
Winter is a great time to start learning to read the landscape for signs of wildlife and learn different wildlife tracks. Was it a fox, coyote, lynx, bobcat, dog, or house cat that passed through your yard? Were the tracks in the snow on your favorite trail from a fisher, otter, porcupine or beaver?
Learn to decipher the clues that wildlife leave behind on one of our wildlife walks this winter! We'll explore a beautiful area together looking for signs of deer, squirrels, snowshoe hares, and more! Bring your snowshoes and some binoculars, you never know what we might see!
