Join Drew Monkman from the Peterborough Field Naturalists for a hike along the snowshoe trail to learn more about local wildlife and other winter nature phenomenon. Kawartha Nordic is co-hosting this event with the Peterborough Field Naturalists. We will be meeting at the Rental Trailer at 10 am.

Our leader, Drew Monkman, naturalist and author, will increase our appreciation of nature by pointing out details that often go unnoticed. We'll look for animal signs such as tracks, see what birds are about and learn how to identify some of the trees in this beautiful landscape. Snowshoes can be rented from the rental shop for $10.00. Dress warmly as there will be frequent stops to look at what we find. Bring binoculars if you have them!
