Fisher Trail, Five RIvers
Join us for an evening stroll at Fisher Trail while we learn about nocturnal animals and listen for owls and other nightlife. The prowl will be led by MHLC volunteer Rob Penner who enjoys leading night hikes and sharing what he learned assisting with owl rehabilitation. This short easy walk will occur in the evening darkness, and we kindly ask if you wish to use a flashlight (not required), please apply a red-light filter to help preserve night vision for all participants.
