Winter Ecology Workshop January 23

Date: January 6, 2016
Contact: Jeff Wolin, (719) 748 - 3253 ext. 202

Have you ever wondered how the animals of our area survive our harsh Colorado winter? Have you ever wondered who or what is making the tracks in the snow near your house? Perhaps it is time to embrace winter and explore the wondrous world of winter ecology.

Join volunteer interpretive ranger Steven Veatch and explore the interrelationships of plants and animals in the winter environment. This program will investigate physical and biological processes and their interactions in snow-covered environments. This two hour program will begin with an indoor presentation of about 20 minutes followed by explorations in the field. Come prepared for winter by dressing in layers, bringing plenty of snacks and water, and being prepared to be outside and do some hiking (less than a mile) in winter conditions. This program will be family friendly with lots of hands on fun activities but most appropriate for 10 years and up.

Admission for the program is the regular park entrance fee, which is $5 per adult (16 years and older);children and federal pass holders are free. Families with one or more fourth graders will be able to receive a free federal lands pass good for one year.
