Nature Up North

Night Hike

Event date and time
July 3, 2013 - 8:30 PM
Event description

Have you ever wondered what happens in the woods when the sun goes down and the creatures of the night come out? Join us for our first night hike where one of our naturalists will guide you through the darkness to shed light on some of the amazing animal and human adaptations to darkness. Darkness elevates the importance of our senses outside of sight. Explorers will focus on sensory perception as they become more comfortable in the darkness and enjoy an evening of learning and exploring the night.

Never been able to get past getting that squirmy worm on the hook to go fishing? Join us as we run a beginner fishing clinic to show the ropes and get you out on the water. Once a year New York State opens up their waters for free fishing for NYS residents! We will be joined by resident angler Melissa Schulenberg who will be going over fishing technique and saftey as we try to reel in a big one!
