Join us to explore the magic of our woods at night! Dark skies are important for many species, including us! Preservation of dark skies helps migrating species, and many species that hunt, mate and are active at night. Join Sierra Club leader and PA Master Naturalist in training Theresa Colecchia, and PA Master Naturalist in training Ben Rainey on a special hike the night of the lunar eclipse. We will hike in Frick Park using red head lamps to allow us to experience the forest at night in a way that preserves our night vision. We will learn about bioluminescent species like fireflies, and look for species that are fluorescent under UV light using a UV flashlight. This hike is suitable hikers over the age of 8. Please wear sturdy hiking shoes and bring a red lamp headlamp or flashlight! No regular flashlights and no pets please!

Nature Photography for Wellbeing
Frick Park
August 1st, 2026
Nature Photography for Wellbeing is a guided outdoor workshop that uses simple photography practices to support mindfulness, stress reduction, and connection with the natural world.
Participants will use a smartphone or camera, not to create professional-level images, but to slow down, notice, and engage their senses in a supportive park setting.
Drawing from mindfulness practices, attention restoration research, and somatic grounding techniques, this experience teaches accessible tools for calming the nervous system, recharging attention, and building a deeper relationship with local green spaces.
