2025 Spring Equinox Hike
Friday, March 21, 2025 | 8:00 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.
What is the significance of the spring equinox?
During the equinox, both halves of the Earth are receiving the sun's rays equally. In the Northern Hemisphere, the spring equinox officially brings winter to an end and kicks off spring!
Spring has officially arrived! On March 20th, the vernal equinox – when the earth’s axis is aligned with the sun and day and night are approximately the same length – marked the beginning of spring. Join us to celebrate the changing of the seasons with this relaxing twilight hike through the Preserve. We’ll be on the lookout for crepuscular creatures (those most active in twilight) and some of the first signs of spring.
Weather permitting, the Spring Equinox Hike will end with fellowship and light refreshments at Shaker Village's Amphitheatre.
