New Hampshire Audubon Seacoast Chapter
Wednesday December 10, 2025 7 pm Eastern Time (US and Canada) Zoom Program - Wildlife Adaptations in Winter
Note: This is a program change from the previous published December program.
Wildlife use various strategies to survive our cold winters, including migration, hibernation, and adaptation. We will examine these strategies for local wildlife, focusing on the adaptation strategies of ruffed grouse, snowshoe hare, beaver, moose, and others. We will discuss the role of snow and snowpack, the trigger mechanism for shorter daylight hours on the hypothalamus, and plant adaptations in winter.
Bio: The speaker is David Govatski from Jefferson, NH. David retired after a 33-year career with the US Forest Service and now works as a Naturalist in New England and a ship naturalist in Alaska.
