Where does a chipmunk sleep when the ground freezes? Bundle up and head into the winter woods with your toddler to hunt for the nests, holes, hollow trees, and brush piles that animals turn into homes. With the leaves down, shelters that stay hidden all summer are suddenly easy to spot. Discover what makes a good winter home, then gather sticks, leaves, and bark to build one of your own. Plan on a short walk at toddler pace on uneven, possibly snowy trails, with time indoors at the start and finish. More details on what to bring and expect will be emailed to you ahead of the program.
