10:00 am: Talk & Trek: Exploring Winter Activity


February 2, 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.
