Wildlife tracking and other nature programs

As fall turns to winter wild animals begin to prepare for the cold months ahead. Many birds fly south to warmer regions leaving behind only the seed-eaters and egg-case gleaners like chickadees and nuthatches.  Some animals go into den for at least part of the winter, experiencing a torpor that reduces their caloric requirements and allows them to sleep away the coldest months. Predators, like the bobcat shown to the left, must remain active for the winter, spending most of their time above ground. Their offspring of the year must have learned hunting skills by the late fall that they will need for sustenance in the coming winter. The trails of these animals become evident on a slate of snow Come join us this fall and winter as we search the forest, fields and swamps for evidence of their secret lives.
