You can also explore The Ridges at night! During a night hike on the boardwalk Aug. 14, 8-9:30 pm, learn about the creatures that become active after the sun goes down, and check out how the range lights work as a navigational aid. Participants should not take flashlights, wear light-up shoes or have other luminary devices so that their eyes can adjust to the dark. The program is limited to six participants; advance registration is required. The cost is $5 for members, $8 for members of the public, and free for ages 18 and younger. Meet at the Cook-Albert Fuller Nature Center.
