Join docent Joani and entomologist Kandis for an adult-focused adventure into the twilight of Bohemia Ecological Preserve.   We’ll be exploring the world of moths and other insects (maybe catching and releasing a few),  bats  (neither catching nor releasing), enjoying a marvelous potluck with beverages, and wondering at the harvest moon.    Fun, beauty, adventure, good food and drink, good company…. What more could one desire?

Note on timing:  We will do our best to get back to our vehicles by 10pm.  However, it is possible we will get back later than intended.  If you have plans directly after this hike that you cannot miss this may not be the outing for you.  Early departures cannot be accommodated.  Thank you for your understanding!

Hike Details: Please come prepared for a moderate hike with some steep sections & uneven terrain (approx. 2 miles).

When and Where: We will meet at 5:30pm Friday September 20^th at the Bohemia Ecological Preserve, just past Westminster Woods.  From the intersection of Graton Road and Bohemian Highway in Occidental, travel approximately 3 miles north on Bohemian Highway. The Preserve is on the right-hand side (if you are coming from Occidental) & looks like a quarry.   Watch for staff or volunteers located at Bohemian Highway to direct you to parking!

What to bring:  Sturdy boots or shoes, weather appropriate clothing in layers, flashlights, potluck item to share, beverage, personal plates and utensils, folding chair or something to sit on while we gaze at the sky, binoculars or telescopes and your sense of wonder. Cameras highly recommended.
