Description
By January, the forest has shifted into survival mode. Walk through the sanctuary's trails to look for the quiet adaptations that keep animals and plants alive through the cold: thick bark, seed caches, leaf litter as insulation, and more.
Discover how different species, from the Red Squirrel to the dormant oak, make it through winter, and why these strategies matter for the whole ecosystem. Back inside, use inspiration from the trails to create a winter adaptation-themed craft to take home.
