Join us for a magical opportunity to hear our native owls calling in the woods at night! This program will begin with a presentation by a special guest, Ranger Eric Powers from the Center of Environmental Education & Discovery. We’ll learn how to identify owls by sight and sound, and how to attract these beneficial birds to your own backyard. Then we will head out to the woods for a very quiet guided night hike in search of owls and other wildlife using a fun, safe and easy method. Ranger Eric will teach you how to develop your own night vision so flashlights are not needed!

Pizza will be provided during the presentation! We will be meeting at the Avalon barn located on Shep Jones Lane in St James.
