Description

Experience the enchanting transition from day to night at the Annie Louise Wilkerson Nature Preserve during our signature Twilight Walk. As the sun dips below the horizon, the natural world undergoes a remarkable transformation, revealing the mysterious behaviors of nocturnal and crepuscular wildlife. Guided by a professional park naturalist, your family will traverse quiet woods and expansive fields in search of local inhabitants such as graceful deer, elusive coyotes, and wise owls. This immersive outdoor adventure offers a rare opportunity to engage with the environment during its most active period. Designed specifically for families with children ages five and older, this program fosters a deeper connection to our local ecosystem while encouraging curiosity about the creatures that emerge after sunset. Safety and supervision are prioritized, ensuring that all young explorers are accompanied by an adult throughout the experience. To secure your spot for this captivating evening excursion, please complete the required pre-registration process online before your preferred date. Join us as we uncover the secrets of the preserve after dark and witness the magic of nature unfolding right before your eyes. We look forward to exploring the twilight landscape with you and your family.
