Event details

Every full moon tells a story of tides, time and seasonal changes. Join us across Will County for a night where science and wonder meet beneath the glow of the moon. Join an American Canoe Association-certified interpretive naturalist for an evening paddle using the full sturgeon moon to light the night. 

This program is part of our full moon program series. Stay tuned to our Event Calendar for future programs.
