Saturday, January 18, 2014 =96 Winter on Snowshoes. Snow transforms the lan=
dscape into stories that unfold as we follow tracks of foxes, mice, and oth=
er mammals. A Snowshoe Hare hops along and is pounced on by a Great Horned =
Owl. Without snow to show us the tracks, wing marks, and perhaps a drop of =
blood, we would not have known the drama took place. Soren Bondrup-Nielsen =
(902) 582-3971 will lead this hike on snowshoes or skis, and we will explor=
e the properties of snow (its insulative value, for example). By studying t=
he characteristic imprints made by different organisms we will interpret th=
e various stories that have unfolded. Meet at the Wolfville waterfront at 1=
0 a.m. for a two-hour, non-strenuous hike at a nearby location to be determ=
ined by weather and snow conditions.
