Every full moon tells a story of tides, time and seasonal changes. Join us for a night where science and wonder meet beneath the glow of the moon. December’s cold moon marks the arrival of the frigid winter season. Join a naturalist on a night hike listening for nocturnal animals that stay active in the winter. Learn what other animals are doing to survive the cold, harsh winter. End the evening around a warm campfire with a tasty s’more in your hand!
This program is the final installment in our full moon program series.
