Magnuson Park is a year-round home to several nocturnal creatures, including a busy family of Beavers and several pairs of Barn Owls. “Nighttime is the right time” for them: Beavers look for tender saplings to cut down and eat, or use to keep their lodge and dams strong and secure, and Barn Owls hunt the open areas in the wetlands and grasslands for their favorite prey. We’ll keep our eyes and ears out for these amazing creatures and more, as we walk the trails through the eastern wetlands, grasslands, and along the lakeshore. This fun and educational walk will feature Beaver Bingo, Owl Adaptations game, and other hands-on activities that are sure to delight attendees of all ages. Binoculars and other supplies provided for all, or bring your own.
Start Location: East Wetlands Complex. Park in lot #E-1 or #E-2 (off 65th and Lakeshore Drive), and follow the signs to meet at the entry sidewalk right next to the Boat Launch.
