Under the snow, ice, and frozen topsoil, the natural world is still full of life. Chipmunks and mice tunnel under blankets of snow, frogs and otters either sleep or search for food under the icy ponds, and predators use their senses to find prey through these frozen layers. Investigate this snowy world under your feet by examining clues and identifying evidence of animals.

After a short indoor lesson, take those winter detective skills outdoors to search for evidence of those winter inhabitants, including holes, trails, and food. A snack is provided after the hike and a craft is offered if there is time.

Look for animal tracks and holes on the frozen ground and snow. Learn more about the winter lives of animals under the snow and ice at ACNC’s Little Explorers on December 13.
