Learn about winter wildlife ecology and mammal habitats near Coldrain Pond and the sprawling Birch Ridge in New Durham at this indoor/outdoor event.

Foxes, coyotes, bobcats, fishers, weasels, mink, otter, and skunks begin to breed as the days grow longer even as snow continues to fall. Tracking can be excellent!
