Winter Detectives Hike

Ever wondered how to sleuth what animals are visiting an area – even when you are not rewarded with a sighting of the creature itself? As we enjoy a leisurely paced hike in the refuge, learn more about the scat (poop), tracks, and other markers our native wildlife leave to clue us into their presence. We will provide binoculars and poking sticks to help us get up close to these fascinating clues that enable you to become great wildlife detectives. Conditions can be wet or muddy. Wear appropriate footwear and dress warmly.

While this program is free for all participants, a suggested donation of $15 a person for adults and $5 a person for minors is appreciated!

Please email Izzy ifilippini@greatswamp.org with questions or cancellations.
