Hike planned at Kellogg Environmental Center in Derby

Participants will search for signs of animals 
DERBY - Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection will host a hike for all ages from 9-11 a.m. Jan. 14 at Kellogg Environmental Center, 500 Hawthorne Ave. 
Hikers will search for Signs of Animals in Winter with naturalist Adrienne Dest who will teach hikers on what to look for and how to understand the evidence left behind by animals.   
Searching for signs of animals is fun, especially in the winter when it is a great time to find tracks and see what animals have been doing as they navigate their habitats.  The program is an outdoor adventure, so proper attire is necessary - dress for the weather.  
The trails are moderate to easy and suitable for young children with adults.  
After the hike plan to join others for hot chocolate to warm up and share your discoveries inside the Kellogg Environmental Center.  

 The program is offered free of charge but donations are welcome. 
For information, directions, or to register, call Kellogg Environmental Center, 203-734-2513, or contact Donna Kingston at: donna.kingston@ct.gov.
