Schedule:
Tuesday, 12/26: Biomimicry—Nature Got There First!
What do airplanes, Velcro®, and wind turbines all have in common? They are three of the many human inventions that were inspired by nature. Through hands-on activities we’ll learn about biomimicry—an innovative method of problem solving that looks to the natural world for solutions to human challenges—and use that knowledge to inspire inventions of our very own.
Wednesday, 12/28: Wild Winter
Join us as we explore the many adaptations that animals have for surviving the winter months. Through games, hand-on activities, and hikes in the woods, we will discover how interesting nature in winter can be.
Thursday, 12/29: Winter Survival Challenge!
Could you survive being lost in the wintertime woods? Join us for the day to see if you have what it takes to make your own fire and shelter, read a map, and travel off-trail. Through hands-on activities and cooperative challenges, we’ll practice the art of staying found while learning the necessary steps to take in actual survival situations.
Friday, 12/29: Reasons for the Seasons
What causes winter and the other seasons? Where does snow come from and how is it formed? How can snow keep animals (including you!) warm? We’ll spend the day learning the answers to these questions and more through games, hands-on activities and hikes in the woods.

DEEP Presentation of the CT Bird Atlas Project
2017-12-12 18:30 - 19:30 (America/New_York) | Cranberry Mountain WMA, Patterson, NY, 12563, United States
Come to Great Hollow on Tuesday, December 12th to hear a presentation about the exciting and long-awaited Connecticut Bird Atlas Project. The Connecticut Bird Atlas is being led by the CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and the University of Connecticut, and aims to (1) better understand breeding bird distribution and abundance in the state, (2) document changes in bird species distributions since the last atlas that was conducted in the 1980’s, (3) understand the distribution of overwintering birds in the state, (4) identify important stopover habitats for migrants, and (5) establish predictive relationships about where species occur on the landscape. The results of this statewide, 5-year initiative will be publicly available on an interactive website and of myriad uses to government agencies, conservation organizations, environmental consultants, and other stakeholders throughout Connecticut who are involved in the conservation of our natural resources. Its success will depend on the volunteer support of the birding community, so if you are a birder and are interested in getting involved, please come to the presentation to hear about how you can help out. The presentation will be given by Dr. Min Huang of the CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. Dr. Huang has been a wildlife biologist for the Department for the past 16 years and heads the agency’s Migratory Bird Program. He is also an adjunct research scientist at the University of Connecticut.

NOTICE: Due to weather conditions and the current status of the vernal pools, tonight’s Vernal Pool Hike has been cancelled. Please contact John at jfoley@greathollow.org to receive updates about rescheduling.

Join Great Hollow’s naturalist, John Foley, for a fun hike to a vernal pool to learn about what every naturalist knows as “The Big Night.” The date is tentative because weather conditions need to be just right (light rain with temperatures in the mid to high 40’s), but participants will almost certainly get to witness the yearly mass migration of spotted salamanders and wood frogs to their breeding pools. We will meet at the White Silo Winery in Sherman (32 Route 37) and then hike to the vernal pools at the Naromi Land Trust’s Towner Hill Preserve. The hike is somewhat steep in some sections. Please bring a flashlight or headlamp, rain gear, and sturdy boots. No dogs, please. Reserve a space and sign up to receive updates about the date and time by emailing John at jfoley@greathollow.org.
