City, suburb or country, coyotes live among us. Join a naturalist on a night hike to learn about these often-misunderstood mammals. The evening will begin at the fire with a short introduction to these wild canines. Then, as we hike and explore the trails of Hickory Creek Preserve, you’ll learn how they hunt and communicate and why they are beneficial to your neighborhood. We’ll keep our ears open for howls and separate coyote facts from fiction. After the hike, we’ll return to a roaring campfire to toast a marshmallow.
Fee: Free!
Age: All ages.
