Winter in the forest is cold and quiet and may seem desolate, but there is still plenty of life if you know what to look for. Bundle up, grab your favorite mug and join a naturalist for a guided hike around Messenger Woods. Together, we will embrace the silent landscape while searching for signs of activity. After the hike, return to the fire and let us treat you to a cup of cocoa or joe.
Fee: Free!
Age: All ages.
