Sunset Sit & Moonrise Smile

Barn Owl flying at sunset.Make time in your day to relax and take in the eastern sky as the sun sets and the full moon rises. Vivid colors paint the sky, the earth’s shadow rises, heralding the coming of night, and the moon makes its dramatic entrance into the night sky. Daytime wildlife seeks shelter as nighttime creatures emerge. Join us thirty minutes before sunset, once a month, at select City of Hillsboro park sites. A Parks & Recreation naturalist will be on hand to help you tune in to the many wonderful events that attend the passing of day into night. Dress comfortably for the weather. Bring a chair and something warm to drink if you like. Free. No pre-registration required.
