Meet us at Armstrong Redwoods for an evening walk on April 12 at 6:45 pm. Dress in warm layers, and bring a UV light. We will learn to relax and connect with nature in the beautiful redwood forest, 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, and we will try to reschedule.
Pre-registration is required. If you are a Stewards member, please sign into your account before registering for this event. If you are not a member, please create an account to register.

You can purchase a 365 UV light online, and at many home improvement/outdoor/hunting stores. One of our favorites is here: UV Light
Children ages 8 and older are welcome. If you are bringing children, we highly suggest that there be 1 adult per child, as the forest gets very dark at night.
