Explore the interesting Metate, Towhee, and parts of the Spur Cross trails in the dark with UV lights and flashlights while looking nocturnal critters. We’ll listen for and attempt to identify night sounds, insects, plants, birds, and lizards. If we’re lucky enough to encounter them, we’ll add snakes, mammals, or whatever else volunteers!
