CAMDEN — Merryspring Nature Center will host a free evening ecology walk for all ages on Friday, August 23, at 8 p.m.

There’s plenty to see in the dark! On this guided walk, guests of all ages will learn about what happens at Merryspring after the sun goes down. Look, listen, and call for hooting owls, and scan for swooping bats under twinkling constellations during this free program. Enjoy an evening walk at Merryspring while learning what plants and animals do after dark.

Guests should bring their own flashlight, wear weather-appropriate clothing, and be prepared to walk for one hour. If raining this event will be canceled.

This program is part of the Free Family Programs series at Merryspring sponsored by the Camden Riverhouse Hotel. Space is limited, so preregistration is required. Guests may sign up by contacting Merryspring at 207-236-2239 or info@merryspring.org.
