Feb. 16: Join Master Naturalist Kathlean Wolf to explore the woods and fields of late winter in the time when death and new life walk side-by-side.  Animals run through the last of their fat reserves and food becomes scarce, even as many animals are mating and rearing tiny pups.  Trees secretly turn root-starch to sugar, preparing to send sap high into their limbs to feed tiny leaf-buds. Will winter come to a warm and welcome end, or will the cold hang on until only the strongest survive? Winter outings may include a campfire and hot chocolate.
