Full Moon Hike and owl chat at Hidden Valley Nature Center

  • Hidden Valley Nature Center 131 Egypt Road Jefferson, ME, 04348 United States (map)

Join us for a full moon hike at Hidden Valley Nature Center.

Enjoy a crisp evening illuminated by the glow of the moon and discover a new way of being in the woods. At night, sounds become more pronounced; the group will listen for owls and the rustling of nighttime foragers along the trail.

This final full moon hike of the season will start a little differently. We will be welcoming a screech owl named Willow, brought to us by Dan Weekes, from Pollination Station in Alna. He will introduce Willow to hike participants and do a short talk about the owl before the hike begins. This will take place in front of the Welcome Center and last 15-20 minutes after which Dan will leave with Willow and the hike will proceed.

Hikers should dress warmly, wear shoes with good grips and bring a hiking stick if desired, along with a snack, drink and flashlight or headlamp. Your Maine Master Naturalist guide will lead the group on a moderate hike of several miles along some of the many trails at HVNC. We will be out for 2 hours.. The hike will be about 40 minutes each way, and of moderate ease. Snowshoes are available by reservation, or participants can bring their own, in the event of snow.
