Winged Creatures of the Night Twilight Tour
TBA
Location: Cradle of Forestry
Moths, bats, owls - these are just some of the animals active at night when many of us are settled in our shelters. This wheelchair accessible program focuses on nocturnal life in the woods and begins in the Cradle's outdoor amphitheater. Children can make a luna moth finger puppet to take home. A naturalist will describe the special adaptations animals have for going about the business of living from dusk to dawn. The group will then stroll through the evening woods in search of winged creatures of the night.
*Meet at the Cradle Amphitheater*
Admission for this event is $6.00 for adults (16 years of age and older) and $3.00 for youth, and Federal Golden Passport and America the Beautiful Pass holders.
