SUMMARY:Kids Nature Night: Snow Science
DESCRIPTION:What exactly is snow? How is it formed? Why are there so many different types of it? What do snowflakes look like up close? How can snow actually keep animals (including people!) warm? We’ll discover the answers to these questions and more in this month’s Nature Night. We’ll even get to make a “snowflake” of our very own! \nParents\, we will be outside about a third of the evening\, so please dress your child(ren) accordingly. Campfire dinner before the activities consists of hotdogs or veggie dogs with all the fixings\, juice\, and we’ll make our own ice cream for dessert.

SUMMARY:"Is it Spring yet?" Guided Hike of Pootatuck State Forest
DESCRIPTION:Join our naturalist\, John Foley\, for a late winter/almost spring family-friendly hike of Pootatuck State Forest. We will look and listen for signs of spring as we make our way around a moderately easy trail loop. On the way\, we’ll learn some basic tree and plant identification skills\, explore a vernal pool\, and finally make our way to a beautiful rocky outcrop that overlooks Squantz Pond State Park and Candlewood Lake. Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear proper footwear for trail hiking. Leashed dogs are welcome. Free for members; a suggested donation of $5 per person for non-members is greatly appreciated. Please register by emailing John at jfoley@greathollow.org. \nWe will meet directly at Pootatuck. Directions from Sherman: drive south on Route 37\, pass Haviland Hollow Road\, and then turn left on Pine Hill Road.  Travel about 1.5 miles and bear right at the fork to the trailhead parking area. From the south: drive north on Route 37 and turn right on Pine Hill Road. Go 1.5 miles and bear right at the fork to the parking area.

SUMMARY:Vernal Pool Series Part 1: Vernal Pool Identification and Conservation Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Aside from robins being the so-called harbingers of spring\, another natural phenomenon that ushers in the turning of the seasons takes place in unique wetlands called vernal pools. On cold and rainy spring nights\, specialized amphibians\, such as wood frogs and seldom-seen spotted salamanders\, undertake their migration to these small and ephemeral woodland pools where they will breed. Because of their critical importance to many species of amphibians\, vernal pools are of high conservation importance and a major focus in forest management and land use planning. Join our naturalist\, John Foley\, on Saturday\, March 30th for the first part of our 3-part series on the ecology of vernal pools and the critters that call them home. We’ll begin the series with an indoor presentation about the characteristics of vernal pools\, how to identify them\, and the natural history of the unique species that depend on them. We’ll also discuss the conservation challenges facing these special habitats and how to adequately protect them from development and other threats. Free for members; a suggested donation of $5 per person for non-members is greatly appreciated. \nClick here and here for information about Parts 2 and 3 of the series.

SUMMARY:How to Make Your Own Maple Syrup
DESCRIPTION:With cold nights and warm days in the forecast\, it means only one thing… maple syrup season is here! Come to Great Hollow and learn all about making maple syrup the easy way\, right in your backyard. No fancy evaporator systems here; just a hot open fire to gather around for good conversation and to watch the process of boiling sap into syrup\, or as the old timers call it\, “liquid gold.” First we’ll learn how to identify and tap maple trees\, hang buckets\, and collect sap\, and then finally\, how to boil it down. Best of all\, we’ll have the opportunity to taste the product of our hard work\, pure 100% backyard style maple syrup! And if there’s enough\, we will also have a limited number of small maple syrup bottles for you to fill and take home. \nPlease dress warmly and meet in the visitor’s parking area by the main entrance. A suggested donation of $10 per person is appreciated. Please sign up in advance by emailing John at jfoley@greathollow.org.
