Meet us at Armstrong Redwoods for an evening walk on Thursday, May 2nd starting at 7:45PM.  Dress in layers, and bring a UV light.  We will learn to relax and connect with nature in our beautiful Redwood Forests, walking slowly and quietly around the forest floor trails, stopping frequently to see, listen, touch, smell, and taste.  As the evening gets darker, we will use our UV lights to look for glowing millipedes, scorpions and various fungi. Rain will cancel, but we will then reschedule.

You can purchase a 365 UV light on Amazon, and at many home improvement/outdoor/hunting stores.  One of our favorites is here: UV Light

If you are bringing children, we highly suggest that there be 1 adult per child, as the forest gets very, very dark at night.

Meet in the front parking lot at Armstrong Redwoods next to the picnic tables.  Registrations are limited!
