Since the weather is always fluid, the experience changes from year to year.
The January and February programs will have activities based on the weather on that day -- checking out ice on the pond, building a snow fort, or taking a hike.

For May, look for animal nests and young, watch parents bringing food, and learn how these new families stay safe. Dress for the weather with good walking shoes. Bring along water boots or shoes for exploring the vernal pool areas up close.
