Eight Night Hikes in 2025

Owl Prowl

spring equinox hike

Friday, March 21 | 8:00-9:30 p.m.

Spring has officially arrived! On March 20^th, 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.

going batty!

Saturday, May 3 | 8:30-10:00 p.m.

Bats are fascinating creatures and an essential part of our ecosystem, and yet they remain one of our most misunderstood mammals. Join us for a nighttime stroll through the fields and forests of Pleasant Hill as we dispel myths and learn about their habitat and food needs. We'll even have special acoustic "bat boxes" to listen in on the local bat population as they use ultrasonic squeaks to navigate their environment.

harvest moon hike

Monday, October 6 | 7:30-9:00 p.m.

What better time to enjoy a nighttime hike than in the light of the full moon? Traditionally, the full moon that falls closest to the autumnal equinox has always been known as the "Harvest Moon" - a time for farmers to finish gathering their summer crops and begin preparing for winter. Rising just after sunset, and appearing particularly large and bright, this year's Harvest Moon, which is also a "supermoon," will be the perfect illumination for an evening stroll on the Preserve. Along the way, we'll share some harvest folklore and discuss the science behind supermoons.

General Admission: $25
