(WNY News Now) – Join Audubon Community Nature Center’s Little Explorers on December 14 to uncover the fascinating world of nocturnal animals, from owls to foxes, in this hands-on adventure for young nature enthusiasts.
Have you ever wondered what is going on outside from sunset to sunrise? On Saturday, December 14, 10–11:30 a.m., you and your 3 to 8-year-old(s) can join other Audubon Community Nature Center Little Explorers and their adults to learn about nocturnal animals.
Nocturnal animals are those most active at night, and they are found everywhere from the middle of the woods to right outside your door. Discover more about who might be making that noise and how these creatures such as bats, owls, foxes, and flying squirrels move around and find food in the dark.
After a short lesson, head outside to explore some places where they might spend the day at Audubon and look for evidence of nocturnal animals along the trails. A snack is provided after the hike and a craft is offered if there is time. Little Explorers takes place rain or shine, so dress for the weather.
The fee is $12 for adults, $9 for children ages 3–8 and Nature Center members. Enrollment is limited to 15 children, 30 participants total. To make your paid reservations required by Thursday, December 12, call (716) 569-2345 during business hours or go to AudubonCNC.org and click through Programs and Events.
