Join us for this wintery forest walk, where participants will learn about various species of ferns, evergreen trees, and other resilient plants that thrive in winter conditions, and how to identify them. We will delve into the fascinating adaptations these species have developed to survive snow, frost, and relatively limited sunlight. Discover the hidden ecosystems that flourish beneath a blanket of snow, and gain insight into the crucial roles these plants play in forest ecology!
A wintertime evening in the woods becomes an earthly soundscape with the calls of courting owls. From the charismatic great horned owl, to the ubiquitous barred owl, to the elusive and petite northern saw-whet owl, there are many nocturnal hunters to learn about in their peak activity!

Welcome senior participants! Join us for a slow-paced stroll around Lost Lagoon to admire the late winter birds and other wildlife in the nearby waters, trees, and shores.

This is a beginner-friendly nature outing!
Discover the incredible variety and lives of local birds in our monthly birding program, Birds of a Feather.
