Nights at the Arboretum - Full Moon Walk
Coyotes are the featured animal this month. As you walk the trails in the Arboretum listen for their cries. See if you can identify their habitats and note them on your map. After you walk, stop by the Visitor Center to continue the fun. Learn what coyotes eat, as well as, check the Master Map with their habitats noted to see how many you identified correctly.
Even with the full moon, don't forget to bring your flashlight!
