Groundhog Day at Drumlin Farm
Watch Ms. G (the Official State Groundhog) come out from winter hibernation and “predict” whether or not spring will come early this year.
The live groundhog forecast starts at 10 am, followed by winter activities such as meeting resident wildlife, exploring wilderness trails, family-friendly groundhog crafts, and learning how to identify animal tracks in the snow.
While groundhogs can’t actually determine whether or not there will be an early spring, Groundhog Day is a fun tradition that offers time to reflect on the changing season. Visitors will also learn how New England wildlife survives the winter and how the changing climate impacts their habitat.
Drumlin Farm’s own groundhog, Ms. G, was declared the Official State Groundhog by then-Governor Deval Patrick on July 31, 2014.
