Join us for a night time walk through the Thousand Acre Swamp, led by Jackson Thomas, Steve Gooding and Diane Taggart.

Leaders will provide telescopes; your own telescope or binoculars are welcome. Bring a flashlight.

Dress in hiking clothes suitable for weather conditions. Trails are muddy and bordered with poison ivy, so have appropriate footwear. Mosquitoes thrive in warm weather; protect yourself with insect repellant and appropriate covering.
