Come to the Center any time during the months of January and February to see an exciting new interactive, educational exhibit all about the Winter Adaptations of plants and animals.
Winter Solstice has passed and although the days are getting longer, the bitter cold of the long winter is upon us. How do our plant and animal friends manage during this period of cold, wind, ice and snow? There are several main types of adaptation: hibernation/sleep, migration, changes of diet and activity, and biological changes including appearance.
