About this event
Description
Join us for a night out in the preserves, where we'll use binoculars and spotting scopes to identify several stars and constellations. We'll also have activities to demonstrate the effects of light pollution and a blazing campfire to keep us warm. Arrival times are staggered every 30 minutes, and the program concludes at 8:30 p.m. (Blackwell) or 9 p.m. (Springbrook Prairie). All ages; under 18 with an adult. $10 per person. To register by phone instead, call 630-933-7248.
Meet at the Blackwell South Shelter.
Red light flashlights only and bring your own telescope if you have it! Dress for cold temperatures.
