Come explore with the Environmental Resources Department through our award-winning guided nature program series.  

• Friday, Oct 18 - Harvest Moon Night Hike at George LeStrange Preserve (7:00pm-9:00pm) - The Harvest Moon gave ancient ancestors in the Northern Hemisphere bright light to harvest fields, working under its light to prepare food stores for the coming winter. We'll be using the bright moonlight to guide our night-time journey, see its reflective light on the lake inside the preserve, and listen for trilling insects, frogs, and hooting owls. Minimum age 12.
