Every full moon tells a story of tides, time and seasonal changes. Join us across Will County for a night where science and wonder meet beneath the glow of the moon. October is the hunter’s moon — a time when the fields are clear and hunters have a clear shot to provide meat for winter. Join us on a hike as we hunt for sights and sounds of wildlife under the moonlight while learning about hunting practices of the past. End the evening around a campfire with a story or two with time to scope out the moon!
This program is part of our full moon program series. Other program dates and locations are as follows:
Nov. 22 at Isle a la Cache
Dec. 23 at Prairie Bluff
Stayed tuned for more full moon programs throughout 2026.
