Hibernate, Migrate, Insulate: Animal Adaptations for Winter
Sat Jan 10, 2026
10:00am to 11:00am ET
Age: Families
Price: FREE
How do woodland animals cope with winter? They use very clever strategies! Explore the grounds of Sheldrake in search of clues to everyone’s whereabouts and survival methods. You might even spot an animal that flies south to Larchmont!
Part of the Sheldrake Second Saturday Series of free family programs, made possible by a generous grant from Con Edison.
There will be no advance registration for this program. Meet under the pavilion behind the white house at 685 Weaver Street. Parking is available at the trailhead (on the other side of the playground) or near the potting shed via the 687 Weaver St driveway. Please leave your pets at home. Be sure to check this page before heading over in case of any changes.
