Winter is an amazing time of the year! If you are lucky, and the conditions are right, you might get to see something amazing fall from the sky, SNOW! Snow isn’t just for sledding, snowball fights, and building jolly friends; snow is an important part of nature. Join us to learn about how snow is created and what it does for nature.

Is that a hawk, a vulture, or an eagle? I think it is our national emblem! Come and learn about eagles and other raptor birds. This time of year we are lucky to see eagles in our area.
