Halloween Haints

October 31 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

Explore the not-so-scary side of the Tom Yawkey Wildlife Center on this Halloween-themed field trip. Learn about creatures of the night like bats and owls, including what species live here, their ecological importance, and how we monitor and manage for them. Then, enjoy some spooky storytelling, including some local ghost stories. This trip requires little walking, but participants will need to navigate 2 floating docks and a pontoon boat to cross the Intracoastal Waterway, as well as a few steps onto the tour bus. Bring a bag lunch and drink. Trips start at 10:00 and run until approximately 2:00.
