Event details
Did you know not all animals hibernate in winter? Celebrate National Take a Hike Day by taking a hike around Lake Renwick Preserve to find out who’s hibernating and who’s not. We’ll look for signs of animals, find out how animals survive cold temperatures and challenge ourselves to see if our winter abilities are as good as a squirrel’s.
