SUMMARY:9am-12pm Nature All Year: Winter Happenings
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an in-depth natural history course to develop your naturalists skills. Each month\, in our series of nature explorations with different local naturalists\, we explore a focused\, seasonal\, natural history topic. We’ll look at nature in new ways\, from broad habitat perspectives to close details of individual species. Over the course of the year we’ll visit a variety of natural habitats in the greater Pioneer Valley area. Identification skills\, ecological connections\, adaptations\, and life cycles of organisms will be the focus of our observations. Bring your curiosity and observation skills. Dress for the weather for 3 hours as we rarely cancel due to inclement weather. Bring binoculars and a hand lens\, water and snacks if you would like.  These will be outdoor only programs and please bring masks and plan to wear them when within 6 feet of others. \nWith Brian Schultz\nAt the Hitchcock Center\nJoin us on this winter walk as we look for overwintering species (insects and otherwise) and learn about the ways many organisms\, including trees\, survive throughout the harshest months of the New England year. \nBiography: An agricultural ecologist and entomologist who does research at the Hampshire College Farm Center\, Schultz has spent a number of years in Central America and the Caribbean studying methods of insect pest control.
