JBS After Dark: Night Sounds

Close your eyes and listen — the wetlands have a whole symphony after dark! This immersive evening experience invites guests to tune into the chirps, hoots, croaks, and rustles that fill the night air. Using simple listening tools and guided "sound walks," participants will learn to identify who's making which noise and why the wetlands get so much louder once the sun goes down. A perfect outing for curious ears of all ages!

We'll spend some time learning about the night sounds of the wetland before heading out to search and listen for them. Be prepared to walk over gravel and uneven surfaces. Photography is permitted, but handling wildlife will not be tolerated.

All participants must be comfortable walking outside in wooded areas without lights and be able to remain silent during periods of the program.

While we can't promise you'll hear every sound we discuss (wildlife doesn't always cooperate!), we can promise you'll enjoy the special experience of JBS after dark and leave knowing more about night sounds.
