With only the moon as our guide, we will hike through the sanctuary woods and enjoy this magical time. Sponsored by Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary.

The sparkle of the gibbous (nearly full) moon on a freshly fallen blanket of snow illuminates the forest like nothing else.Since January is often one of the quietest times of the year, we should be able to hear the hoots of owls and the howls of coyotes.

The light of the moon will also allow us to catch glimpses of nocturnal animals that usually move about in complete darkness.

We will then return to the Barn to warm up with some hot chocolate.

Please dress for the weather.

You may bring a flashlight if you wish
