Enjoy the sights and sounds of our nocturnal wildlife during a night hike in Backus Woods. We’ll look for flying squirrels, call for owls, identify the songs of various species of crickets and katydids, and attract late summer moths using light traps and baits. Maybe we’ll even howl for coyotes!
Where to meet: Parking lot for 3rd Concession entrance into Backus Woods. Bring a flashlight!
