We had a great presentation this week by the Outdoor Education Dept. Fred brought along a large collection of "stuffed" animals for us to view while we learned about animals in winter. We learned that animals can be true hibernators or they can go into torpor. They can also migrate or use camouflage. At the end of the presentation we had a chance to touch some of the animals. This presentation was to get us thinking about animals we may see or discuss on our outdoor winter trip.
I have requested an outdoor trip for February/March but I don't have a date or location yet. As well I have a set of junior snowshoes booked for the week of Feb. 4-7. What I usually do on snowshoe week is watch the weather predictions and choose two half days to go snowshoeing in Lakewood Park. We usually need lots of helpers for this activity.
