We think of winter as cold and sleepy- a time of dormancy. The plants are shades of brown where they haven’t disappeared altogether. Some animals stir very little in the deep winter, but most are as active as ever! Learn about the signs that animals leave behind as they travel the landscape in search of resources, for exploration and for play. We will discover ways to use our senses to explore our surroundings and find signs of wildlife in the winter landscape. All ages are welcome; children must be accompanied by an adult caregiver.

Guided Birding Tour at Blackwater
Get outside this winter and spring by participating in a free guided birding tour at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). You don’t need to be an expert to enjoy identifying and learning about the many species of birds that inhabit the refuge. Throughout the winter, waterfowl and raptors, including bald eagles, are plentiful, while spring brings in migratory warblers and shorebirds.
Participants meet at the Blackwater NWR Visitor Center at 8:00 a.m. for each tour, which may last 3 to 4 hours. The birding party typically tours via personal vehicle, stopping at various points around the refuge’s Wildlife Drive. Binoculars and field guides are highly recommended for an enjoyable experience. There is no fee or advanced registration for these tours. For further information, please call the Blackwater NWR Visitor Center at 410-228-2677 or visit our website at www.fws.gov/refuge/Blackwater.

Spring Musical at NDHS "Mean Girls"
The North Dorchester High School is presenting the high school version of "Mean Girls" as their 2024 Spring Musical.
Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. How will this naïve newbie rise to the top of the popularity pecking order? By taking on The Plastics, a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady and her friends devise a "Revenge Party" to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a Queen Bee without getting stung.
Show performances will be Thursday, 2/29 @ 7pm. Friday, 3/1 @ 7pm, Saturday, 3/2 @ noon & 7pm and Sunday, 3/3 @ 2pm. Performances will be in the auditorium at North Dorchester High School, 5875 Coverdale Road. Tickets are $10. Refreshments and T-shirts will be available for purchase.
