SUMMARY:School Break Adventure Program
DESCRIPTION:Need something fun and educational for your child to do during the winter school break? Get them off their phones and sign them up for Great Hollow’s winter day camp program! Our program offers children ages 5 to 9 the opportunity to forge lasting connections with the natural world on our 825-acre preserve in New Fairfield. Days will be spent outdoors (with plenty of breaks inside to warm up) exploring Great Hollow’s creeks\, forests\, meadows\, and trails\, learning about the critters that make this special place their home. Each full-day session includes science-based environmental education activities\, games\, hikes\, animal encounters\, and time for self-directed nature play. Join us for one day\, two days\, or the entire week! \nMembers: $45/day for one day or $40/day for multiple days. Non-Members: $50/day for one day or $45/day for multiple days. Please contact our Camp Director\, Sena\, at sena@greathollow.org or (203) 546-7789 with any questions or to register your child. \nSchedule: \nTuesday\, December 26: Biomimicry—Nature Got There First! \nWhat 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. \nWednesday\, December 28: Wild Winter  \nJoin 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. \nThursday\, December 29: Winter Survival Challenge! \nCould 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. \nFriday\, December 29: Reasons for the Seasons \nWhat 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. \n

SUMMARY:Guided Hike to Cranberry Mountain Wildlife Management Area
DESCRIPTION:Join Great Hollow’s naturalist\, John Foley\, for a guided hike to the Cranberry Mountain Wildlife Management Area in Patterson\, NY. Cranberry Mountain was initially a 464-acre hunting cooperative and game species habitat management demonstration area\, owned and managed by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation. In 2011\, federal Highland Conservation Act funding was used to purchase and protect an additional 600 acres of land\, enlarging the area to over 1\,000 acres. Natural and managed habitats at Cranberry Mountain today include mature forest\, fields\, shrublands\, human-made impoundments\, and emergent wetlands. An important species at Cranberry Mountain is the New England cottontail rabbit\, which is listed in New York as a Species of Special Concern. Cranberry Mountain falls within a New England Cottontail Focus Area and plans are in place to remove large tracts of mature forest to create the shrubland and young forest habitat that this species requires. We will discuss this controversial plan and the importance of habitat management for the conservation of wildlife. \nWe will meet directly at the Cranberry Mountain WMA main parking area on Stagecoach Road in Patterson (click here for Google map and directions). Please register by emailing John at jfoley@greathollow.org. A suggested donation of $5 per person for non-members is appreciated for this event. Suitable for children ages 10 and up. No dogs\, please.
