You don't have to leave your neighborhood to explore nature! Join a Refuge Ranger at your local library to learn all about what animals do in winter. We will go on a scavenger hunt searching for signs of wildlife, discover how some of our animal neighbors survive the cold and create a take-home birdfeeder to help our feathered friends. While activities are geared toward elementary-aged students, all are welcome! Children must be accompanied by an adult.
