TAMWORTH — Cook Memorial Library in Tamworth will be welcoming Lynne Flaccus, naturalist and Chocorua Lake Conservancy stewardship director, for “Winter Wonderland: How Animals Adapt to Cold and Snow,” a warm evening of winter ecology on Wednesday, Jan. 22, at 7 p.m.

What animals are active above and below the snow? Who migrates, or sleeps through the winter? What physical or behavioral adaptations do animals use to wait out the long, dark nights of winter? For those that are active despite the snow and cold, what signs do they leave behind for you to find?
