Summer at Crossroads: Mammals
Advertisement
🌿 Theme: Mammals 🌿
📅 Week of July 20
📍 Crossroads at Big Creek
A week full of stories, exploration, and hands-on discovery—perfect for families and curious minds of all ages!
🚶 TRAIL TALES
Take a self-guided hike starting at the west trailhead, where a story unfolds along the trail. This week’s featured tale is “The Busy Tree” by Jennifer Ward—read as you wander and explore nature at your own pace.
🔧 TINKERS – Drop in during open hours for ever‑changing, hands‑on, self‑led activities. 🦝
📖 TALES – Enjoy our weekly story read aloud on Mondays at 2 PM by Door County Librarian Beth Lokken.
🎤 TALKS – A specialist brings each weekly theme to life on Thursdays at 2 PM. On July 23, discover how Wisconsin’s mammals are perfectly equipped to survive and thrive in a changing environment! Join Chris Kratcha, Wisconsin DNR Game Warden, for an engaging program exploring the fascinating adaptations of mammals found across Door County and beyond.
From thick winter coats and fat reserves to keen senses, powerful claws, and specialized diets, mammals have evolved remarkable physical and behavioral traits that help them find food, avoid predators, and endure harsh seasonal conditions. Chris will share insights from his work in the field, highlighting how animals such as deer, foxes, bears, and small mammals are adapted to the landscapes and climates they call home.
Participants will learn how these adaptations influence where mammals live, how they move, and how they interact with people and the environment. This program offers a great opportunity to deepen your understanding of local wildlife and gain a new appreciation for the resilience and ingenuity of Wisconsin’s mammals.
🌼 JOURNEYS WITH JOAN – Continue summer nature exploration with Naturalist Joan Wilkie, Tuesdays at 1 PM. On July 21, seek summer butterflies in Crossroads’ gardens, meadows, and fields. Suitable for all ages.
There’s something new each week—come often and experience it all! Free and open to the public. Drop in—registration not required.
