BRISTOL ― In winter when snow and ice cover so much, it can seem like the animals have disappeared. But, although we can’t always see it, life continues above and below the white surface.
Join Newfound Lake Region Association Education and Outreach Manager Mirka Zapletal at the Minot-Sleeper Library as we explore what animals are doing while the world around them is in a deep freeze. Learn about the different ways that local animals respond to winter and how we can investigate their lives without even seeing them. On Wednesday, Feb. 11, storytime starts with “Over and Under the Snow” at 10:30 a.m. followed by a winter-themed craft to take home.
The NLRA’s mission is to protect and improve the health of Newfound Lake and its watershed. The Association ― through focused programs and community engagement ― supports ecosystem resilience and natural resource conservation. With the vision of a cleaner, clearer Newfound Lake, NLRA is working to improve environmental health, expand land conservation, increase community support, grow watershed stewardship, and boost capacity to deliver their mission.
