Event details
The days are short and the temperatures are cold, but from tiny chickadees to massive deer, our woods are still very much alive! Discover the unique adaptations of warm-blooded animals that allow them (and us!) to survive in this climate. Hike the trails of Hammel Woods in search of active animals and the evidence they leave behind.
