​Holderness, NH – Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is hosting its popular  Wild Winter Walks again this year, which showcase the natural beauty of New Hampshire animals in winter. 

Wild Winter Walks are walking tours of the live animal exhibit trail guided by staff naturalists. As well as seeing the animal ambassadors dressed in their winter coats, participants will learn how these native animals are well adapted for winter in New Hampshire. Fur coats, hibernation, and migration are just some of the ways animals survive the cold. Many people are interested to learn that the animals at the Science Center stay in the same place during the winter, just as they would in the wild. 

​WARNER HISTORICAL SOCIETY TO HOLD COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS
We Want to Hear What You Have to Say About Recent Town History
