Explore how you sense things differently on thrilling dusk to dark skies walk. Step away from artificial light and experience how the mind wanders, and the imagination kicks in.
As night descends, the world changes and how we experience what’s around us becomes more acute. Never more so than when out amongst nature and wildlife! Exhilarating, thrilling and sometimes even a little scary! What will we hear? What will you see? How will we feel? Experience the excitement of the night-time nature connection.
