About this event
One of 41 upcoming events at Lemon Bay Conservancy, and 2,028 across Sarasota.
Experience the beauty of the Full Cold Moon at Lemon Creek Wildflower Preserve! Join preserve manager Chad Lyman in a new way to appreciate the wonders of nature under a full moon. As the full moon rises, Chad will guide participants through the preserve’s transforming ecosystems. Without the glare of daytime sun, you will have the unique opportunity to experience the sights and sounds of the preserve’s uplands, tidal wetlands, and freshwater ponds under the silver glow of moonlight. Learn about the nocturnal wildlife that becomes active after dark, hear the evening chorus of frogs and insects, and enjoy a rare night view from the Labyrinth on the Hill. Whether you are a regular visitor or discovering the preserve for the first time, this guided walk offers a completely fresh, meditative perspective on our local environment. What to Bring & Wear Because we will be walking through natural habitats at night, please come prepared: Footwear: Closed-toe walking or hiking shoes are required for safety. Clothing: Long pants and a long-sleeved shirt are highly recommended to protect against evening mosquitoes. Essentials: Bring plenty of water and bug spray. Optional: A small flashlight or headlamp (ideally with a red-light mode to preserve everyone’s night vision). Registration Details Max Capacity: 15 people RSVP: reserve your spot with Chad at [email protected] Event is “Free of Charge”, but donations are appreciated.
