The Jackrabbit Recreation Area has a vibrant night life scene, even more so during the full moon! Join us for this evening hike on the woodland and field trails in the light of the Strawberry Moon, also known as the Summer Solstice Moon! We will will hear numerous different kinds of singing frogs and insects! We may also hear nightjars calling, owls hooting in the distance, or flying squirrels chirping from the trees.

All participants will be given a red-light device (flashlight or headlamp) to use for this hike, but are also welcome to bring their own red-light device. Please do not bring standard white- or yellow- light devices because they will disrupt our night vision. The moon will be quite bright.

This walk will be about one mile on a maintained, moderate-grade trail that is medium difficulty. Roots and rocks are present in the trail, as are other hazards like poison ivy. Participants are encouraged to wear pants and closed toed shoes. A rock that is obvious in the daytime is much more subtle in the evening! We will meet at the Jackrabbit Recreation Area Trail Head at 9pm on Monday, June 29th. Map Below. We will be out until around 10:30pm-11pm

This program is weather-dependent. Email Alina with any questions. Children are welcome if they can be quiet for extended periods of time. We will be using our ears on this walk! Please leave pets at home.

This event is donation-based, with a suggested donation of $0-$10. No one will be turned away for lack of funds, but please give what you can.
