O{n Sunday, Dec. 15, from 4:30-6:30 p.m., enjoy an evening hike illuminated by the glow of the full Cold Moon on the night when the full moon will be closer to the earth than on any other day of the year, and visible from dusk until dawn. Hikers will discover a new way of being in the woods, when sounds become more pronounced and sight takes a backseat to other senses. The group will take moments of silence to listen for owls and nocturnal foragers along the trail, chat as they hike, and revel in the brightness of earth’s closest celestial friend. 

The hike guide will lead the group on a moderate hike of 2-3 miles along some of the many trails at Midcoast Conservancy’s Hidden Valley Nature Center in Jefferson for approximately two hours. Registration is required and space is limited so early sign-up is encouraged. To register, go to https://www.midcoastconservancy.org/events-list/full-moon-hike-12-15-24.
