Ever wondered what animals are lurking once the sun goes down? Do you enjoy guessing what could be making that weird noise in the trees around you? Then join us at Freedom Park after dark during the trick-or-treat full moon hike on October 17th. 

The Park will be open late, past sunset, and visitors may use Multiuse Trail 3, a one-mile, paved ADA-compliant trail that winds through wooded forest and the Colby Swamp. Local orgnizations will be prsent with themed activities for children and adults all along the trail, including blacklighting to observe some of the native nocturnal insects!  No registration required.

Flashlight and costume encouraged!

In case you're interested in listening to me talk about insects even more than usual, I'll be doing a workshop on beneficial insects next Saturday. I hope that lots of you will come and hear about how to attract these helpers to your yard and garden!

Come and visit us and learn heaps about bugs and other invertebrates!

It's going to be a super fun and educational day at the CWNCD BioBlitz.   If you like nature and are interested in learning more or trying citizen science, don't miss this event!
