Event Description:
Join us for a fun, all-ages program to explore how Wisconsin animals use the subnivean zone, a unique habitat formed out of the winter snowpack! Subnivean means "under the snow", and mammals, birds, amphibians, insects, and more each have different ways of using this space to meet their needs. Learn how animals like voles, weasels, ruffed grouse, salamanders, and even spiders survive the winter thanks to the subnivean zone, then venture outdoors to search for signs of subnivean critters. Bring it all together by exploring the insulating properties of snow as you craft your own snow shelter!
