Participants, some of whom had never tried snowshoeing before, successfully completed a 2.2-mile trail. Along the way, they learned a little about wildlife and the woods from coordinator Marc Warner, saw deer foraging close by and heard woodpeckers in the distance. The group finished up with a cup of hot chocolate and a look at the wildlife displays inside the Nature Center.
