Event details
Did you know that not all animals hibernate in winter? Join a naturalist on a hike through the woods and down to Hidden Lakes Trout Farm to find out who’s hibernating and who’s not. We’ll explore the woods looking for signs of animals and challenge ourselves to see if we have what it takes to make it through the winter outdoors.
