Family Fun Night: Winter Night Hike (2023)

Let your mind grow at the Gardens! We offer over 200 courses and workshops for families, kids and adults in the areas of gardening, nature, botanical arts and wellness.

Learn more about courses and programs at the gardens at rbg.ca/publicprograms.

Friday February 17; 7 to 9:30 p.m. at the Nature Centre.

Join us on an evening hike deep into the forests of RBG to explore the night-time ecology of the Arboretum. Listen for the hoots of owls! Learn about and watch for night-time animals! Your walk features interpretive stops highlighting significant local features, animal tracking and exploring different forest types. If the evening is clear, discover some late winter celestial sights. Bring your head lamp or flashlight.

Please note, although we aren’t guaranteed to hear or see owls on our hike, we will learn lots about them!

Meet at the Nature Interpretive Centre.

Maximum participants: 25
