Description
Summer nights have their own soundtrack—if you know how to listen. This program helps you identify common nighttime sounds in the Berkshires, including insects, birds, and more, with an experienced naturalist guiding what you hear.
After an introduction, you'll head outside to practice listening in place, keeping an eye out for stars, planets, and the wildlife that moves after dark. Gain practical tips for noticing and recognizing night sounds wherever you go.

Instructions
Meet in the red barn at Pleasant Valley; doors will open 15 minutes before the program begins to welcome early arrivals. Dress for the weather and plan for mosquitoes, which can be more active at night; long sleeves and pants and bug spray are recommended.
This program is designed as an accessible experience and will take place exclusively on the Pike's Pond All Persons Trail. Expect to cover up to 0.8 miles on a wide, flat, gravel-paved trail at an accommodating pace. An all-terrain Freedom Chair and Rollator are available to borrow; call ahead to reserve.
