Join Ranger Eric for an after-hours prowl of the Preserve trails to look for nocturnal animals and scorpions!  

Join Ranger Eric for an after-hours full moon walk to look for and learn about the nocturnal critters of the Preserve! Wildlife seen on past walks have included bats, ringtails, foxes, skunks, javelinas, deer, owls, scorpions, insects, and other cool creepy crawlies! Please bring your own flashlights and blacklights if you have them, but some will be available to borrow. Please dress in layers and wear sturdy footwear, and carry ample water. Trails are rated as easy and are mostly flat, but there may be some uneven or sandy surfaces. We will hike about 1-1.5 miles roundtrip.
