(WNY News Now) – Jamestown, N.Y. – Is winter really a quiet season?
You can answer this question for yourself and break out of the winter blues on Saturday, January 27, 10–11:30 a.m., when you join an Audubon Community Nature Center Educator for a Winter Walkabout.
There are all sorts of exciting natural events happening as plants and animals find ways to survive the frozen winter.
Come explore the grounds at Audubon: Look for animal tracks and signs, break through the ice to see what pond critters are hiding below, and relish the natural beauty of the season.
There is no telling what you will find on this walkabout, so bring your sense of adventure.
Be sure to dress for the weather and be prepared to walk on potentially snowy trails.
The fee is $8 for adults, $6 for Nature Center members and children ages 9–15
Reservations are appreciated by calling (716) 569-2345 during business hours or going to AudubonCNC.org and clicking through Programs and Events. Walk-ins are welcome.
