Join us for a family-friendly evening of nocturnal exploration at Chinsegut WEA! We’ll start at the conservation center with an introduction to Chinsegut, and as the sun sets, we’ll observe bats as they emerge from the Chinsegut bat boxes. After that, we’ll walk down to May’s Prairie where we’ll listen to the sounds of the night from the boardwalk and overlook. Along the way, we'll provide UV and infrared flashlights and look for various creatures.
The hike is moderate, over uneven terrain and unpaved trails in the dark. Shoes appropriate for hiking are recommended. We will provide bug spray, though it may not be needed at this time of year! All children must be accompanied by an adult.
