Black Pond Woods is a beautiful location year-round. The trails through the woods offer a great chance to imagine the winter lives of the birds, amphibians, and mammals that live here. They survive winter in some intriguing ways. Some, like the woodchuck, sink into true hibernation. Others, like squirrels and deer, forage daily for food. Black Pond Woods’ celebrated amphibians go into a slower mode but are occasionally active during winter. Join in NAP’s restoration efforts by cutting and removing invasive species. Meet on Tibbits Court off Pontiac Trail (map: tinyurl.com/BlackPondTibbits).
