Vermont wildlife gets creative during the winter months to endure the cold temperatures and harsh winter conditions. Come learn what different habitats exist in your backyard and our national park. Learn who is active during Vermont’s cold months and who is curled up, hibernating until spring. With the basic needs for survival of food, water and shelter, animals must adapt to the harsh climates and adapt when necessary. Science Communication Specialist Ed Sharron will begin with a discussion inside and then you’ll head outside for a guided snowshoeing tour investigating various habitats. Please dress appropriately for winter weather. Adult and child snowshoes will be available if needed. All ages welcome. Co-sponsored by Vermont Coverts and the Vermont Woodlands Association
