Wildlife Wednesday: Squirrels

Discover wildlife that calls Wisconsin's Northwoods home through Wildlife Wednesdays at Treehaven! Join us monthly for this FREE all-ages program series, and explore the natural history of each month's focus animal through interactive activities, guided walks, and/or specimen observation. From fur to feathers, woods to water, predator to prey, and more, experience the diversity of the animal world right outside our windows—and learn how you can help protect it! Squirrels are some of the most common wild animals to spot year-round—even during the winter! There are five species of tree squirrels in Wisconsin, and each has a different lifestyle and traits that set it apart from the rest. Through an indoor presentation with a variety of specimens, explore what makes these tree squirrels special and discover the ways they have adapted to stay active throughout harsh winters. We'll discuss the positive effects squirrels have on ecosystems, and how you can minimize squirrel damage to your property or belongings while still preserving the benefits of keeping these curious critters around! Please register if planning to attend. Registration and more information can be found on the linked Eventbrite page.
