New Moon Hike

Description

After dark, Stony Brook reveals a side of itself that most visitors never see.

Step out onto even trails with a Mass Audubon naturalist, letting your eyes slowly adjust while you tune in to the sounds and signs of nocturnal wildlife. Play sensory games in the dark; learn how animals navigate, find food, and stay safe through the night; and come away with a sharper sense of the living world after sunset.

Flashlights are welcome, but you might find your favorite moments happen when you tuck yours away.

Checking registration status.
