Participants will have an opportunity to snowshoe areas of the refuge that are not normally open to the public while looking for signs of wildlife in a winter landscape. The refuge provides a wonderful clean slate of untouched snow, which is the most ideal condition when looking for animal tracks! Learn about what animals do in the winter season for food and shelter, and how to identify tracks, scat, and signs of their passage. This program is suitable for adults. Please come dressed for snowshoeing in winter conditions. Consider bringing along binoculars or camera. Snowshoes are NOT provided but are required. Participants will meet the volunteer guide in the Great Bay NWR parking lot in Newington, NH.
