Join on us for a trip to a hemlock grove! During the winter, hemlock groves provide shelter and a haven from the deeper snows for many mammals and birds. Highlights often include deer beds, red squirrels, great horned owls, golden-crowned kinglets, fisher tracks, and the main object of our labor: PORCUPINES.We will show you how to locate a porcupine and hopefully we will actually see one (be prepared to crane your neck, but it is good warbler training). We will also discuss invasive species affecting hemlocks and the surge in the population of the predatory fisher.
Total walk is probably between 1 and 1.5 miles. Wear sturdy shoes with good traction and bring your binoculars. Total trip time between 1 to 2 hours. Location will be announced closer to the date of the trip.
Registration is required.
