Squam Lakes Natural Science Center Offers Wild Winter Walks
Guided Tours of the Gephart Exhibit Trail
Holderness, NH – Squam Lakes Natural Science Center offers Wild Winter Walks for the 2012 winter season. These guided tours allow visitors to see the animals at the Science Center in their winter splendor.
A staff naturalist guides the walk along the Gephart Exhibit Trail, a three-quarter mile long nature trail featuring animals in natural enclosures. The naturalist discusses the many ways native animals are well-adapted for winter life in New Hampshire. Participants will see how animals like Red Fox, Bobcats, Mountain Lions, raptors and other native species adapt to winter weather. If weather conditions permit, participants will snowshoe along the trail. Snowshoes are available at no extra cost or participants can bring their own.
Participants can make a full day of winter fun with a Wild Winter Walk and lunch at Longhaul Farm. Longhaul Farm will offer a 10% discount on lunch to all Wild Winter Walk participants on the day of the event (lunch begins at noon).
