What did the groundhog predict this year? Why do we even look at groundhogs to predict weather? Participants will even get to meet a live groundhog curtesy of our friends at Acorn Acres Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. This program will include a short walk to look for signs of a groundhog den and a search for signs of other burrowing animals. Registrants must be accompanied by a chaperone for the duration of the program. A maximum of one chaperone per child is permitted. Space is limited. Pre-registration required.
