Talk and Trek - WINTER PREPARATION
–
November 3, 2022Dwindling daylight and cooling temperatures trigger humans to dig out hats, gloves, and heavy coats. Other animals including insects, mammals, birds, and reptiles take these environmental queues and prepare in remarkable ways to survive winter. Join an inquisitive group of adults as we wander Five Rivers and wonder about its inhabitants’ preparations. Photographs, guide books, skulls, pelts, and other materials will help enlighten us as we discuss the focused, quiet activity all around us. Who knows? It might just trigger us to be more proactive in our own preparations for winter!

Snow Snake is a traditional Haudenosaunee game played during the winter. The object of the game is to throw your Snow Snake (a straight tree branch) the farthest along a smooth trough made in the snow. Snow Snakes come in various lengths and designs.
Five Rivers Snow Snake sessions will demonstrate how to prepare the branch for racing by removing twigs, debarking, sanding, decorating, and waxing. You will head home with a branch, sand paper, and wax to use in completing your own unique Snow Snake by Race Day.

January 26, 2023
Winter is a wonderful time to explore the lives of insects, mammals, trees, and weed plants. With Donald W. Stokes’ A Guide to Nature In Winter as our escort, let’s head outdoors to discover life under, in and above the snow. Each week participants will prepare for our walk by reading a general information section, usually 2 to 3 pages. We will hunt for examples of our reading and delve into their unique characteristics, history, and identification.
Snowshoes will be provided if needed. Once registration is confirmed, a copy of the book will be waiting for you at the Visitor Center.
