Ever wonder how some of our native furry friends survive the chilly winter days outside? Register the whole family to learn the difference between hibernation vs. brumation and the science behind why and how animals sleep safely in the cold. During this interactive workshop, you'll make and take home a rabbit friend and learn how to help them get ready to hibernate, doing your best to keep them warm overnight in a cold environment.
