Join us for a magical evening under the glow of the Sturgeon Full Moon at Gatewood Preserve. This guided hike will take you through serene forest trails and along peaceful waters, where we'll explore nocturnal wildlife, listen to the sounds of nature, and learn about the significance of the Sturgeon Moon. Perfect for nature lovers of all ages, this hike offers a unique way to experience the beauty of the preserve after dark. Don’t forget your flashlight and sturdy shoes!

Whether you're a seasoned night hiker or a first timer, come discover the allure of the night and make memories that will linger long after the moon sets. These hikes are NOT stroller friendly, but infants and toddlers in backpacks are welcome.

Mark your calendars and join us each month at a different Calvert County nature park for a themed hike and let us honor the beauty of nature and marvel at the natural magic that unfolds under the light of the full moon. https://www.calvertparks.org/special/
