Join us for a fun evening adventure to launch into bat and moth season as we listen and look for bats and moths while we stroll along the river. We will delve into our nighttime world to eavesdrop on eerie echolocation calls using bioacoustics and attract moths to our UV lighting station to observe them up close.
All ages are welcome to join us for this hair-raising event. Sign up early as space is limited, and our Nature Nights events fill up quickly!
Please bring a flashlight or headlamp, a camp chair for the later mothing portion and wear long pants and close toed shoes.
