Bat Conservation and Bat House Construction
Wed December 8th
5:30pm-8pm
Turner Public Library, 98 Matthews Way, Turner

What do Animals do in Winter?
Wednesday, December 29th

303 South River Road, Greene
Geared towards ages 3-7, All ages welcome.
We put away our shorts and t-shirts, and take out our sweaters and mittens, but how do animals get ready for winter? Take a walk in the woods and learn what animals in Maine are doing during the colder months! We will play games and activities to learn about hibernation, torpor and other ways that animals survive during Maine's harsh winters. We'll take a walk, with plenty of stops to look for animals tracks, explore the snowy forest, and play games!
Registration requested but not required. To register email projectdirector@androscogginswcd.org.
