Nature Detectives: Night Magic Kids & Family Walk

What happens in the forest after the sun goes down? What creatures come alive in the night? Using our nature detective skills, we will investigate the forest for clues to what might go on after dark. We will begin the investigation in daylight, hunting for tracks, nests and anything else nocturnal animals may leave behind. The walk will end at dusk, where we may even spot some nocturnal insects like fireflies and moths!

Recommended for all, but especially children 7 to 10 years old accompanied by an adult.

This event is brought to you in partnership with the Madison Environmental Commission and The Nature of Reading Bookshop in Madison, NJ.

Rain Date: Saturday, August 2nd

The Madison Environmental Commission and The Nature of Reading Bookshop will also be holding a dark and mysterious discussion based on the book Night Magic by Leigh Ann Henion, a New York Times bestselling nature writer, on July 30. Click Here for more details.
