Winter Hike on the Hill

Description

Explore the Blue Hills in winter with our knowledgeable educator. Even in the coldest months, the forests are very much alive. Birds and mammals brave the cold and search for food, leaving tracks in the snow. Leafless trees sleep through the winter, while the evergreens stand out against the gray surroundings. Conditions permitting, we will explore on snowshoes.
