Where does Nature Sleep in Winter
All ages welcome (aimed at 4-12)

We know monarchs migrate South, but do other insects? Where do they hide? Are they awake in the winter? I saw turtles in the nearby pond... where are they now? Are the trees alive in the winter??

There are so many questions about what animals do when snow coats the landscape. Join me as we explore how both plants and animals survive the frigid temperatures!

About Me

I am an enthusiastic, individual passionate about sharing the intricacies of nature and the connections we all share.

Land Acknowledgement

Where I live and work today, in the Kingston and Frontenac area, is the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, and the Huron-Wendat. 

I recognize my role in reconciliation and healing as a settler/immigrant descendent and wish to learn and move forward in healing our relationships with both people and the land.

I would also like to recognize and celebrate the first peoples of Turtle Island who have in the past, and continue to be, leaders in conservation.

I am filled with gratitude for the kindness and protection the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and Huron-Wendat have, and continue to share, with the lands I have grown to love.
