Is spring on the way, or are we faced with another six weeks of winter? That's what the legend of Punxsutawney Phil foretells each year. Here at the sanctuary they have our very own special groundhog that performs a similar annual ritual.

Join sanctuary naturalists for a fun educational program as we take a closer look into a celebration that has its origins in Europe. After an indoor session in the barn featuring many fascinating groundhog facts and folklore, we'll head outside to search for signs that tell us spring is on the way. Along the way we'll stop outside the home of our local groundhog and watch him make his annual appearance and prediction.

For ages 4-10 yrs. Please dress warmly.

Registration is required, unless otherwise noted. To register, or if you would like more information, please contact the sanctuary directly. Please do not submit registration requests via e-mail.
