COMMUNITY EVENT: Wild Whatcom Out and About

Out and About is a monthly nature program for queer adults (18+). Join us for Creatures of the Night: Halloween Night Prowl | Friday, October 30, 2026 | 5:00-7:00PM Wear your best costume to explore at night and learn all about nocturnal creatures. If you dress as a nocturnal animal yourself, you might even get some extra candy! We will start with some silly activities to build community, then have an interactive discussion about nocturnal animals and the unique adaptations which help them thrive in the darkness. We will then go on our “night prowl” (walking around flat trails as the sun sets) to keep our eyes and ears open for nocturnal wildlife. The area we will be exploring has abundant birds (including owls), as well as beavers, muskrats, bats, and coyotes! Come ready to have fun in the darkness, make new friends, and appreciate all things spooky with other nature loving queer folks! Learn more and register: https://www.wildwhatcom.org/out-and-about
