Walk on the Wild Side: Winter Animal Tracks and Signs
Walk on the Wild Side: Winter Animal Tracks and Signs
Winter has set in and New Hampshire is once again blanketed in snow. Much of the wildlife that flourished in the warmer months is nowhere to be seen, but a stroll in the snow will reveal that there are many furry and feathered residents that stay here all year long! Join the Squam Lakes Association to explore the clues wildlife leave behind as they brave the New Hampshire winter. We will identify animal tracks and signs that can be found throughout the Squam watershed and learn how they can tell us about the health of our watershed! This is a perfect way for people of all ages to enjoy New Hampshire's chilly winter days.
Participants should come prepared with extra layers and boots or shoes for the snow. The SLA is committed to ensuring everyone can get outside in the winter - ask about our free gear library!

The Squam Lakes Association is dedicated to conserving for public benefit the natural beauty, peaceful character and resources of the watershed. In collaboration with local and state partners the SLA promotes the protection, careful use and shared enjoyment of the lakes, mountains, forests, open spaces and wildlife of the Squam Lakes Region.
