Night Hike: Snow Moon
Saturday, February 4, 2023 | 6-7:30 p.m.
Why is it called a “Snow Moon?”
The explanation behind February’s full moon name is a fairly straightforward one: it’s known as the Snow Moon due to the typically heavy snowfall that occurs in February. On average, February is the United States’ snowiest month, according to data from the National Weather Service.
The night sky and the cosmos have been a source of inspiration and amazement throughout human history. On this gentle hike through the Preserve, take in the wonders of the winter 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!
