FEBRUARY 2021 - Winter Fun Outdoors in the Bioreserve, Loon

INFO ALERT - Winter fun outdoors in the Southeastern Massachusetts Bioreserve

We rarely get as much snow and ice in southeastern Massachusetts as we used to get even as recently as thirty years ago. Some of us remember when areas ponds and lakes would freeze up and people would be ice skating, ice boating and ice fishing from late December until early March. Not any more.

Right now, we have some snow and may be getting a little more. Get out and enjoy it. On a recent one hour trail walk we saw loads of human and dog tracks, but also tracks made by resident deer, gray fox, coyote, weasel and red squirrel. Embrace winter now because, as the groundhog told us, soon it will be spring! 

Here are a few present snowy woodsy photos and some from past fun winter times in the forest.
