Naturalist Dave Govatski will lead this program that will look at several charismatic mammals of the White Mountain region, including American marten, fisher, snowshoe hare, beaver, black bear and moose. We will discuss what these animals eat, how they survive our long winters and places where you might see them. We will also look at several bird species found in the mountains, including spruce grouse, gray jays, boreal chickadees, and black-backed woodpeckers.
