Tiny Trekkers: A Long Winter's Nap

Saturday, December 19, 2026 · 10:00 AM

Stony Brook Wildlife Sanctuary — 108 N St., Norfolk, MA

Not every animal sticks around for winter, but the ones that do have remarkable tricks for adapting to the elements. On this winter walk, little naturalists will create a take-home craft about wintering animals and then head out on a walk to find good hibernating spots around the sanctuary. Discover which Massachusetts animals are the true hibernators, what hibernation looks like, and why some creatures choose a long winter nap while others brave the cold. Every Tiny Trekkers program connects young learners to the natural world, building the curiosity and care that grows into a lifetime of environmental stewardship. Meet in the Nature Center. Please dress for the weather and wear comfortable footwear suitable for walking on trails.
