Fort Washington Library: New Canaan Nature Center Presents Animals in Winter

How do animals know winter is on its way? Join a New Canaan Nature Center naturalist as we use live animals and artifacts, plus participatory activities and some role-playing, to learn how animals have adaptations to help them survive. Migration, hibernation, brumation, and staying active are only some of the ways animals survive the coldest season.

Recommended for ages 4 and older with caregiver.
