Hays Woods Ranger Guided NIGHT Hike- Halloween Owl Prowl

Hays Woods is the city of Pittsburghs newest park, and its second largest at 626 acres. It is the largest new urban park project undertaken east of the Mississippi in 75 years. The park consists mostly of an undeveloped interior woodland where wildlife thrives. The deep glens formed by the 12 streams running throughout the park provide moist lush habitat for unique plants and animals.

On this special hike we will explore the forest during dusk and dark. Rangers will provide red light flashlights and binoculars. We will play calls for the barred owls, screech owls, and great horned owls that call Hays home.

Hike will be about 1.5 miles in length, the pace will be slow.

When: Thursday, October 30th from 6:00PM-7:30PM

Where: Hike begins at the Agnew street trailhead. Just past 1019 Agnew Street .

What to bring: Sturdy closed toed shoes, long pants, water. Trails may be brushy or muddy so come prepared. Feel free to bring a flashlight, but only red light will be allowed during the hike, to reduce the disturbances to wildlife.
