Mammals of Fitzgerald Lake Conservation Area

October 2, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Learn about the wide diversity of mammals that live throughout the Fitzgerald Lake Conservation Area in this morning hike. Join wildlife biologist Brad Timm, as we walk and visit some of the varied natural habitats that are important for different mammal species at FLCA and learn about the fascinating life histories of these animals. We’ll keep our eyes open for any mammals we may come across during the walk, for evidence of the presence of specific mammals (e.g., tracks, feeding evidence, scat, etc.), and will even learn about some of the techniques used to track and monitor populations of different mammal species. All ages are welcome and encouraged!

Due to the continuing coronavirus situation in western Mass., we will be limiting participation to 10 attendees (in addition to walk leaders), and require that all persons wear a mask and remain six feet apart.

To sign up for this walk, please send an email to Dave Pritchard at Registrar.BroadBrookCoalition@gmail.com indicating how many people you will have in your party. We will accommodate as many attendees as we can on a first-come first-serve basis. Please check the Broad Brook website (broadbrookcoalition.org) for more information on this programs, or call Dave Pritchard (413-268-3668) or Dick Wynne (413-584-7930).
