About Winter Ecology with Adventure East
Explore winter ecology while becoming acquainted with the wild world and let Adventure East be your guide. This winter wonderland adventure will begin with a brief explanation of the human history on the location followed by an exploration of the wild world. Learn about winter track and sign, what animals are moving in the snow, and who is tunneling beneath. We will also explore how plant life adapts to darker and colder temperatures and which birds stay for the winter. This adventure is for all ages. Snowshoes or shoe spikes and poles will be provided to make this a safe and enjoyable experience.
Located in Ashfield and Conway, this historic, 262-acre property features a blend of forests, open fields, and wetlands and links conservation lands totaling roughly 3,000 acres.
HIGHLIGHTS: The birds at Bullitt are often the highlight of this trip for all nature lovers. This location offers both meadow and forested ecosystems which allow for a diverse population of our winged friends. Bring your binoculars on this trip if you want to get a closer look and learn some tips on bird identification.
