Join Michele Grzenda, SVT’s Stewardship Committee member and Laura Mattei, SVT Director of Stewardship, on a night hike and owl prowl at Wolbach Farm. We begin indoors with a presentation introducing the three most common owls in Massachusetts, as well as discussing the nocturnal adaptations they possess to survive. Then we will head out into the forest for a slow paced 1- hour hike. Owl observations are not guaranteed but this promises to be an evening not to be missed!
