A completely different set of animals become active when dusk falls. Join us for an evening hike and discover the nocturnal animals that inhabit the prairie and forests of Pleasant Hill!

On this gentle hike through the Preserve, take in the wonders of the prairie and forest at night while discovering some of the mysteries and curiosities of the universe. Along the way, we will observe constellations and learn fun facts about the moon and its importance in our lives!
