Full moon hike at Hidden Valley Nature Center

Thu, 11/15/2018 - 7:00am

Midcoast Conservancy will offer a full moon hike (or snowshoe, if there is snow on the ground) at Hidden Valley Nature Center in Jefferson on Tuesday, Nov. 20 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Hikers can enjoy a crisp evening illuminated by the glow of the moon and discover a new way of being in the woods. At night, sounds become more pronounced; the group will listen for owls and the rustling of nighttime foragers along the trail.

Participants should meet at the gate at HVNC at 4:30 p.m. and dress warmly, wear shoes with good grips and a hiking stick if desired, snack, drink and flashlight or headlamp. Guide Bambi Jones will lead the hike to shore of Little Dyer Pond, to watch the moon rise over the water. The hike will be about 40 minutes each way, and of moderate ease. Snowshoes are available by reservation, or participants can bring their own, in the event of snow.
