Many animals are nocturnal, meaning they are active during the night. Join our Environmental Educator for this .6 mile hike as we dive deeper into who these animals are and their impact on our ecosystem. Bring your binoculars as we may hear or see some nocturnal animals. Meet at the Indian Creek Trail Head. Program is suitable for all ages with understanding we will be listening for certain species. RSVP to andra.dalton@ncparks.gov .
