After a brief orientation we will travel to spots in and around the park to “call in” a gray fox using night lights and an electronic game call.

No flashlights are allowed. Program is not suitable for young children or those with difficulty walking at night in a woodland setting. Strict limit to 12 persons ages 10 and above. \nPreregistration is required; to register call 570-724-4246 or stop in the park office. \nMeet at the Nature Center at 8:30pm.
