April Thursday, 4/20 - 6:30-8:00 PM Owl Prowl We heard that someone has been possessed by an owl. Who? Find out at Sheep Pasture when you join our educators at our most popular program, Owl Prowl. Families will take a guided hike through Sheep Pasture’s trails as they uncover the secret life of these nocturnal raptors. We will be searching for evidence left behind by the birds of the night. |

Thursday, 5/11 - 6:30-8:00 PM Animals in the Dark When darkness falls upon Sheep Pasture, nocturnal creatures come out to play! Join NRT educators as we hone our senses and explore the wonderful world of the night. We’ll learn how nocturnal animals use their amazing senses to find food, move around, and avoid predators in complete darkness. Be sure to bring your game face - as we walk the trails of Sheep Pasture, we’ll be stopping to test out our own nocturnal senses in a series of family-fun games! June TBD |
