SUMMARY:Full Moon Hike at the CMA
DESCRIPTION:July’s Full Moon is known as the “Buck Moon\,” named after the antlers of male deer\, which are at their full size in July before they shed them. Join us on this guided hike\, led by GSWA’s Hazel England\, to discover some gentle nighttime creatures. July is a great time to enjoy a moonlit hike at the CMA — the canopy and bright moonlight provide the perfect backdrop to hear and spot owls. Our full moon hikes are a real hoot\, so don’t miss out on this unique\, family-friendly opportunity! \nWaterproof footwear\, especially hiking boots\, are strongly recommended. \n\nPlease email Izzy ifilippini@greatswamp.org with questions or cancellations. \nCANCELLATION POLICY: Great Swamp Watershed Association (GSWA) makes every effort to assure all programs and events go off as planned. Should an event be cancelled due to severe weather or other unexpected reasons\, GSWA will promptly notify all registrants via email and the event page will reflect the status. To accommodate people on the waitlist\, participants needing to cancel should do so ASAP. Cancellations made less than 48 hours in advance will not be refunded unless it is due to a health emergency. Unused registration fees may be converted into a tax-deductible donation.
