Winter Weekend In Norfolk, Saturday, February 22, 2020
Meet at Aton Forest, 270 North Colebrook Road, Norfolk
We will be walking into the woods promptly at 9 AM.
Winter is a great time to see animals, or at least their signs. Annually, Aton Forest conducts monitoring of the porcupines and beaver on our property and uses this opportunity to involve citizen scientists in our work here. We will check the known porcupine dens in rock ledges and maybe walk out onto one of our ponds to see a beaver lodge if the ice is good. We will also track wild animals and observe birds along the way. This is a kid-friendly program and part of Winter Weekend In Norfolk. You'll be amazed at what you discover by getting outdoors and following your curiosity! Wear appropriate clothing and boots for the weather (ice grips or cleats, such as Yaktrax, are very useful for walking on the roadsides and woods). Come earlier (8:00) to bird and check out animal tracks around Headquarters. The program will conclude about noon, but we will understand if you need to leave earlier. We will have coffee, tea and hot cocoa before and after the hike. This is a free event, but please RSVP. Email: contact@atonforest.orgPhone: 860-248-1053  |
