ECO's Earth Night Hike will begin promptly after waiver signing outside the Community Garden.

Join Dr. Peggy Eppig to enter the night woods for an interpretive hike to vernal pools to look for tadpoles and late season amphibians, a lights-off stop learn about and talk to the campus resident barred owls, and a check on our moth lighting station for species of nocturnal moths and other night-flying insects who live at the edge of open sky and closed woodland canopy. There may be bats! This hike will include a segment of woodland trail as well as some off-trail exploration using flashlights. Learn why the conservation of the natural night-time environment is a top priority for many communities and what we can do to help nocturnal creatures thrive on our campus.
