Peeper Prowl
POSTPONED DUE TO COLD WEATHER. New date coming soon!
Eisenhower Park: 780 North St, Milford, CT – Once you enter the park, drive straight forward to the lower gravel parking lot.
As evenings start to warm up, frogs will emerge from their winter hideouts and begin to sing! Join Ken Elkins and Coastal Center educators for a nighttime hike at Eisenhower Park, where we will learn how to identify frogs by calls and by appearance. Bring shoes or waders that you don’t mind getting muddy, as well as a flashlight or head lamp to spot these nocturnal amphibians. This hike will begin at sunset and continue into the first hours of darkness, when frogs are most active. This program is appropriate for adults and children ages 6+, and will run rain or shine (frogs are more active in rainy weather).
Pricing:
Members: $20
Non-members: $25
