Full Moon hike: Crown Point After Dark

Join Executive Director Kevin Gross, on a walk through the vast prairie and serene forest after sunset on Tuesday, September 17th, 2024 from 7:00pm - 9:00pm at Crown Point Ecology Center.

Observe the nature that calls Crown Point home like few have, in low light after dusk. You will be guided through the prairie and forest and discuss how different types of wildlife have evolved to flourish and live most of their lives at night.

Before and during our adventure, we will talk about how certain animals are equipped to thrive at night and learn how to identify various animals and insects just by the sounds they make. This experience should recharge your connection with nature and expand your appreciation for some of the sights and sounds typically hidden during the day.

As this is a night walk with a full moon, we will observe the wonders of the night sky and the beauty of our closest celestial body in all its glory and appreciate the cultural significance of the moon!
