The beauty of snow is that it provides us with a natural canvas where we can see the pattern of animal tracks, other signs of animal activity, and read a story about the forest in winter.

What rodent increases biodiversity wherever they spend their time, creates habitat for myriad other species, provides housing for other animals, shelters fish, and offers nesting sites for birds on the “rooftops” of their homes? Come find out!

With the diminishment of certain kinds of habitat, including convenient holes in old-growth trees, cavity nesting birds may have a harder time finding places to nest. We can help!
