Leader: Stephanie Mason Winter is often considered the quiet season, but there is still lots to look and listen for in the natural world despite the chilly temperatures. On these naturalist-led walks, we'll work to cover up to 2 1/2 miles on mostly level natural surface trails and/or boardwalk. Along the way, we'll keep eyes and ears open for winter wildlife and the plant communities that support them--all the while discussing their strategies for winter survival. All three destinations are local parks which protect both wetlands and woodlands.
