Winter Wildlife Tracking

January 20, 2013   10- 12:00 noon
Guided by trackers Gerry & Gail Coffey, we will look for track and signs of coyote, mink, fisher, otter, porcupine, moose, deer and bear. Learn how these animals adapt and survive in winter. Tracking is a great way to learn about the diversity of wildlife in the area and gain greater insights about their behavior.

Wear warm clothing in layers, warm socks and boots. Snowshoes, crampons and hiking poles may be useful for this off-trail hiking. Bring water and an energy snack.  Meet at  Rocky Pond Road parking area 1.7 miles north of the intersection with Route 130 in Hollis NH.  $10.
Call 603-465-7787 to register.

Take a Green Hour at Beaver Brook

“The most effective kind of education is that a child should play amongst lovely things.” — Plato (Greek philosopher, 428 – 347 BC)

Sign up for Natural Wonders:  A Parent & Preschooler class on Mondays or Tuesdays for one hour enjoying spring changes.  Call to register 603-465-7787

NWF recommends that parents give their kids a “Green Hour” every day. This can take place in a garden, a backyard, the park down the street, or any place that provides safe and accessible green spaces where children can learn and play. Scientific research shows kids are happier and healthier when outdoor time is in better balance with indoor time.
