Have you ever heard of a secret kingdom for animals? How about a swim under the ice or a muddy sleeping bag? We will investigate these mysteries and more at Winter Nature Buds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Feb 21: To Boldly Go<br \/><\/strong>Adventure is out there! We will look for animal tracks and make a few tracks of our own as we follow the trail maps for a hike through the woods and meadow. Hot cocoa or hot cider is sure to follow!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mar 21: Winter Adaptations<br \/><\/strong>Animals that are active during the winter must adapt to the cold weather.
