Owl Walk -- Just because the sun is set, it is no reason to go indoors. This is the time for owling, and Darryl and Jackie Speicher of Pocono Avian Research Center are excited to lead this hike in search of the night's most fearsome predator, the great horned owl. Participants will also call out to the other elusive critters, including the barred owl and the screech owl.

Tannersville Cranberry Bog Boardwalk Walk -- Local naturalist Don Miller guides this walk on The Nature Conservancy's Indian Ridge Trail and the floating boardwalk trail to the Cranberry Creek observation platform.
