Life Beneath the Leaves: Trolley Tour of Eau Claire’s Wintering Wildlife

You’re invited on a joyous, community-powered journey to help Eau Claire’s wildlife flourish from autumn to spring! Presented by the Chippewa Valley Biodiversity Partnership. Join expert guides Mari Jackson (Master Gardener), Jane Mohler (Master Naturalist), and Scott Stewart (Biologist) on a lively adventure celebrating nature’s unsung heroes—fallen leaves and natural materials that create vital overwintering habitats for caterpillars, bees, frogs, small mammals, and other native creatures.

Tour Includes:

  • Visits to three unique locations: a rural home, a city residence, and a faith community
  • Amazing wildlife stories, from woolly bear caterpillars to mourning cloak butterflies
  • Discover wild survival strategies creatures use to beat winter’s chill
  • Hands-on demonstrations, games, and warm drinks
  • Creative ways to protect native species in your own yard
  • Take-home how-to guides for creating overwintering habitats
