Their burrows usually have a main entrance, one or more \u201cspyholes\u201d to keep an eye on enemies, and separate toilet and nesting chambers. Their summer burrows are dug in pastures and meadows but come winter they move to a denning burrow. These winter burrows are dug close to a woody or brush filled area and are an ideal spot for woodchucks to hibernate their way through the winter.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/groundhog_and_wildflowers.jpg\" alt=\"woodchuck groundhog wildflowers\" title=\"woodchuck eating wildflowers\" width=\"576\" height=\"384\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11875\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/groundhog_and_wildflowers.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/groundhog_and_wildflowers-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/groundhog_and_wildflowers-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hww.ca\/en\/species\/mammals\/woodchuck.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.hww.ca\/en\/species\/mammals\/woodchuck.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2890 align=\" style=\"margin-left: 3px; margin-right: 3px; border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"2010_biodiversity_logo_convention\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010_biodiversity_logo_convention.png\" alt=\"biodiversity logo convention 2010\" width=\"580\" height=\"95\" align=\"aligncenter\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010_biodiversity_logo_convention.png 920w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010_biodiversity_logo_convention-300x48.png 300w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010_biodiversity_logo_convention-768x125.png 768w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010_biodiversity_logo_convention-696x113.png 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>2010 is the Year of Biodiversity and <\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Earth Rangers<\/span><\/strong><strong> has teamed up with <\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The United Nations Convention<\/span><\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">on Biological Diversity<\/span><\/strong><strong> to bring you a daily dose of <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/wildwire\/?p=1223\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">biodiversity basics<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h5><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.earthrangers.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Earth Rangers<\/a> is a non-profit organization that works to inspire and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/bbtw\/resources.html\">educate<\/a> children about the environment.
