Description
Red-tailed Hawks have keen eyes, curious minds, and can soar long distances. This group is for our students ages 6 to 8 that introduces homeschool students to basic ecology while nurturing an appreciation for the natural world.
How does a wild animal survive during our cold and hungry New England winters? How can we learn from them and develop our own outdoor winter survival skills? Come find out though firsthand observations of wildlife, exploration of the winter landscape, and practice with real outdoor skills. Expect to learn skills such as building shelters with minimal materials, tracking wildlife with game-cameras, and careful observation of winter birds.
If needed, we will have a make-up class on February 25th.
