Enchanted Forest

Have fun making Halloween crafts and more at the Enchanted Forest on Friday, October 19.

 Bring your little ghosts and goblins for a hoot of a Halloween at the Connecticut Audubon Society’s Enchanted Forest. An excellent nature-themed alternative or addition to the traditional Halloween celebration, the Enchanted Forest introduces fascinating, entertaining (and educational!) information about nocturnal animals in their natural habitat.

Participants will have a fun – but not scary – experience when they are escorted around the luminary trail by volunteers who light the way with flashlights.   The night also features fall-themed craft making, Halloween snacks and a chance to meet some of the Center’s creepy, crawly & feathery critters. Children are encouraged to wear costumes.  The Enchanted Forest is held rain or moonshine.

 The sponsor for the 2012 Enchanted Forest is The Bank of Fairfield.  “Thanks to their support” states Director of Fairfield Operations Nelson North, “We’ve been able to enhance not only our event, but also reach out to some participants who could otherwise not afford to attend.  It’s a win-win for all.”

 Guided walks leave approximately every fifteen minutes beginning at 5:30 and the last walk leaves at 7:30.  Pre-registration and pre-payment required at time of registration.
