Sounds of the Forest Wine & Cheese Night Hike April 9, 2010

The night forest pulses with the sounds of melodious songs, clicking calls, flapping wings, and shuffling feet. Frogs, crickets, bats, and other animals are on the move; meeting mates and finding food- it's the night life of the forest! Come out and discover which creatures are sounding off, participate in a special frog symphony, and take a night hike into a forest rich in sounds and excitement. After the hike, enjoy wine and cheese while discussing your evening in the woods. All participants will receive a free night forest recording for attending this event. Space is limited. Minimum age that can attend is 12 years. Parents must accompany anyone under age 18. Cost is $18 for Arboretum members and $30 for non-members.
