Full Moon Walk at Yankauer Nature Preserve
Monday, August 19 @ 8:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Join Sonja Melander for an evening stroll to explore the nocturnal world at Yankauer Nature Preserve!
PVAS Host: Sonja Melander
Free and open to the public. All ages are welcome, though youth must be accompanied by an adult. Registration is required and limited to 15 participants.
If the sky is clear, we will hike by the light of the full moon along the trails at Yankauer Nature Preserve. If the evening is cloudy, we will still enjoy an evening stroll as a group. Regardless of the weather, we will enjoy the unique sights, sounds and smells of the nocturnal world together!
Please dress for the weather and bring a flashlight.
Please note that Yankauer Nature Preserve is normally open only from dawn to dusk, but is accessible at night through special nighttime events like these. We hope you join us!
Pace: Moderate – steady but able to maintain a conversation. The group will make several stops along the way to regroup and to discuss interesting things we are noticing or thinking about! This hike typically involves a longer stop at the Potomac River overlook to pause and enjoy the nighttime environment.
Terrain: Earthen hiking trail with gentle, rolling hills
Distance: Approximately 1.1 mi
