Take a walk in the Full Moon light with Amy Martin, the Moonlady and author of Wild DFW: Explore the Amazing Nature Around Dallas-Fort Worth. After a poetic overview of the Moon, an audience-involving demonstration explains the lunar phases and why we only see one side of the Moon. After this, you’ll be a pro-level Moon watcher, able to predict where the Moon will be at any time.

Then off on a night hike with breaks for short raps ranging from synchrony and the formation of life on Earth to the qualities of moonlight, plus material from the book on nocturnal denizens, their use of Moon phases, and how urban nature turns to darkness for safety and adaptation. Plenty of Moon-shadow dancing and Moon song singing.

Sip & Shop:
They’ll have wine* available in our nature gift shop where we will also run a 20% discount for the evening. We will have bakery items available for purchase from Cedar Hill businesses: Ketchum’s Kobblers and Four Girls and A Guy.
*Wine is first come, first serve, while supplies last. Limit of two glasses per attendee. Wine served only to ages 21+. No purchase necessary.

We also have a small number of spaces open for a guided hike with Amy Martin on the West Loop Trail.
