The Buzzards Bay Coalition and Wareham Land Trust are giving families and opportunity to get outside and explore nature this winter.

Three free programs will be offered on Feb. 17 and 19 in Wareham and Onset.

On Tuesday, Feb. 17 there will be a "Tracks and Trails" event at the Westgate Conservation Area, 29 Papermill Road, in Wareham. The event will consist of a photo scavenger hunt and a search for critters that have sought shelter in the warmth of the woods. The event will be from 10 to 11 a.m.

On Thursday, "It Shore is Cold," will take place at Onset Beach, where those present will search the sea shore for shells and more and then create beach art with their findings. The event will take place from 10 to 11 a.m.

The events are recommended for families with school-aged children on February vacation.

Registration is required for all Bay Adventures. To RSVP, email bayadventures@savebuzzardsbay.org or call (508) 999-6363 ext. 219.
