Learn about the natural world at night by taking a "night hike." We will learn to let our eyes adjust to the darkness as we develop our night vision. Students will learn about local nocturnal animals and their adaptations. Students will listen for night sounds and enjoy a "sparkle party" at the end. If the weather is inclement, part of this program may be done indoors.
