TWC Winter Programs:
Our Winter program began January 5th and will go to March 31st. The winter season brings many joys to TWC every year, and this year in particular we are taking advantage of our snowy landscape to snowshoe and explore the wetlands for tracks and scat.
During some of our frigid chilly days we also have inside study opportunities. You could cozy up to an owl pellet for a dissection or familiarize yourself with pelts and skulls.
TWC is taking a more artistic approach to wildlife with our TWC Flip Wear and 'Wild Art' program options. Students engage in art work that depicts the wonders of wildlife and biology in a way that is pleasing to the eye! We even have creative and (handmade) extravagant prints on thrifted T-shirts!
