Evening Nature Walks

evening_walk_eddyOnce every month, our naturalist leads a guided evening nature walk.

These walks, which last approx. 90 minutes, are always different. Participants never know exactly what they'll be hearing or seeing. While exciting wildlife discoveries are often made, just being out in the forest, at a time when Strawberry Hill's trails are normally closed to the public, is a special experience.

Evening walks often focus on seasonal highlights such as mating amphibians or owls.

Check our calendar of events for the dates of upcoming walks.
