Experience the magic and serenity of a mid-winter night hike. Together, we’ll explore the trails and meadows, listening for the calls of owls echoing through the quiet, cold air. An immersive experience that blends the quiet beauty of winter with the wonder of the nocturnal world.

To avoid disturbing local owls with repeated call-back surveys at the sanctuary, we’ve partnered with Newtown Parks & Recreation to explore a new habitat in town.
