    Owl Prowl for Adults 2019 at Broad Meadow Brook Conservation Center & Wildlife Sanctuary

    Owls are a prominent part of our folklore, for good reason. Learn all about our native New England owls, their behavior, adaptations, and ecology. You'll become acquainted with some of our local owls, learn their calls, and walk nearby trails to search for eastern screen and great horned owls.

    Afterwards, enjoy light refreshments and learn more about these fascinating creatures of the dark. This program will be held indoors and outdoors, with moderate walking at dusk. Dress to be outdoors for 45 minutes.

    The event goes from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
