ʻPaw Printsʼ Hike Winter is a great time to learn about local wildlife inhabiting the French- manʼs Bay area. Join us as we look for ʻclues in the snowʼ to fi nd out who is living in the woodlot at Rotary Frenchmanʼs Bay West Park. We will start indoors, decorating plaster animal tracks and then venture into the nearby woodlot where we will look for animal homes, browse, scat and tracks. We will have a variety of activities to take part in, so bring the whole family and remember to dress for the weather.
Please bring any appropriate fi eld guides. Hot chocolate provided.
