At 7:30 p.m., the focus will shift to a program about owls and other nocturnal creatures commonly heard during outdoor activities such as fishing, camping, and hiking. Afterward, attendees will embark on a roughly two-mile night hike, which includes some uphill sections, to listen for owls and other nighttime sounds.
