Animals in Winter

Animals in Winter How do our New England animal friends survive the winter? From the smallest chickadee to the largest black bear, everyone is dealing with winter differently! Even we as people adapt ourselves to the winter weather …we are just like animals! This program animates the concepts of hibernation, adaptation, and migration with a funny and informational puppet show which showcases some of our common New England animals and how they survive the winter. A hike outside to explore the nearby habitats is a good way to hunt for signs and clues of what our Beaver Brook animals have been up to with their preparations for the upcoming cold weather.

 

Our program will be for students in grades K-6. It is scheduled for 1-2:30 pm on Feb 16th at the Maple Hill Farm location (117 Ridge Rd, Hollis NH). We are welcome to come early for a picnic lunch, or to stay late for snacks. The program will be held in rain, snow or shine and will include a short puppet show followed by a short hike and exploration time. Masks are not required outside but are anywhere inside. They specified that neck gaiters and masks with exhalation valves are not allowed. There is a Nature Play Area (outside) for younger siblings to enjoy during the program.

 

We only have space for 20 registrants, so please only register your children ages K-6th that are participating in the program.
