Dusk Family Hike at Trailside

The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the Department of Parks and Community Renewal are pleased to offer this unique evening program for families with children at the Trailside Nature and Science Center this spring.

“The Dusk to Dark Evening Family Programs are a wonderful opportunity for families to experience the beautiful Watchung Reservation while learning interesting facts about nature and wildlife,” said Freeholder Daniel P. Sullivan, liaison to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board.

At the Dusk Hike on Wednesday, May 18, 7:30 – 8:30 p.m., families with children ages 5 and up can join a Trailside Naturalist to explore fields and forests as the sun sets behind the Watchung Mountains, using their “owl eyes” and spot tree houses, burrows, nests and other homes and hideouts of local wildlife. The fee is $6.00 per person for Union County residents and $7.00 per person for out-of-county residents, and pre-registration is required.
