Hoo hoo hoo's that hooting in the woods? Come learn about the many different owls that call Missouri home. After a short educational talk, experience a walk in the woods at night as we attempt to speak with some of our local chatty Barred owls. The walk will take place on the Broken Ridge trail, which is approximately 2/3 mile long. Be prepared for inclines and declines. Bug spray is highly recommended. Make sure to bring good walking shoes and a flashlight.
