Tiny Trekkers: A Long Winter's Nap

Description

Not every animal sticks around for winter, but the ones that do have remarkable tricks for adapting to the elements.

On this winter walk, little naturalists will create a take-home craft about wintering animals and then head out on a walk to find good hibernating spots around the sanctuary. Discover which Massachusetts animals are the true hibernators, what hibernation looks like, and why some creatures choose a long winter nap while others brave the cold.

Every Tiny Trekkers program connects young learners to the natural world, building the curiosity and care that grows into a lifetime of environmental stewardship.
