Will Richardson of the Tahoe Institute for Natural Science will speak about Winter Wildlife Survival: Strategies for the Tahoe Basin on March 8.

The 7pm event at Emerald Bay Physical Therapy is sponsored by the Tahoe Area Sierra Club.

Have you ever wondered what Tahoe’s animals do for the winter? Do Tahoe’s bears really hibernate? Exactly what is hibernation, anyway? Where do the frogs go? What about the birds, squirrels, and insects?

This talk will present an overview of the strategies used by Tahoe wildlife for enduring long Sierra Nevada winters, and highlight many fascinating examples of how these strategies are employed.

Emerald Bay Physical Therapy is at 812 Emerald Bay Road, South Lake Tahoe.
