Midcoast Conservancy will offer a full moon hike (or snowshoe, if there is snow on the ground) at Hidden Valley Nature Center in Jefferson on Wednesday, Feb. 12, from 6 to 8 p.m. Hikers can enjoy a crisp evening illuminated by the glow of the Snow Moon, named for the historically snowiest month of winter. At night, sounds become more pronounced; the group will listen for owls and the rustling of nighttime foragers along the trail. 

Participants should meet at the Welcome Center at HVNC at 5:45; hikers should dress warmly, wear shoes with good grips and bring a hiking stick if desired, along with a snack, drink and flashlight or headlamp. Grippers or snowshoes will be available to borrow; hikers requiring them should arrive at 5:30. The hike guide will lead the group to the shore of Little Dyer Pond to watch the moon rise over the water. The hike will be about 40 minutes each way, and of moderate ease.
