Mysteries of the Night: A Full Moon Night Hike with the Laguna de Santa Rosa Foundation

Join the Laguna de Santa Rosa Foundation for a family-friendly adventure under the full moon as we explore the wonders of the Laguna de Santa Rosa at night! This hike is perfect for nature lovers of all ages, offering a chance to discover the fascinating nocturnal wildlife that comes alive after dark. We’ll delve into the mysterious lives of nocturnal predators, and visit bat and owl boxes where we might spot these helpful nighttime hunters in action. As we walk, we’ll discuss how the full moon influences the behavior of animals—from mammals to amphibians to insects—shedding light on their fascinating adaptations to the lunar cycle. Along the way, we’ll try light-fishing for insects, using lights to attract and observe these nocturnal critters up close. With the full moon guiding our path, this hike promises to be an exciting and educational experience for the whole family. Bring your flashlight and sense of adventure for an unforgettable evening! There is no charge for this event, which is made possible by the voters of Sonoma County who fund the work of Ag + Open Space with a quarter sales tax.
