Field Trip: Preparing For Winter: Grades K to 2

In winter, cold weather and harsh conditions can make it hard for many animals to survive. During this trip, students will investigate the many ways animals have come up with to prepare for winter. Through trail exploration, active games and hands-on observations, they will discover the physical traits and behavioral adaptations that allow animals to make it through the Winter season. This program is offered only in the Fall and Winter.

Field trips are 2 hour guided programs led by Teacher Naturalists and are held outdoors. Schools are welcome to extend the field trip with an outdoor picnic lunch/snack and a visit to the nature play area. School groups are divided into groups of 15 students with 1 Teacher Naturalist.
