Description
Join us at Mill Mountain Park for some s’mores and science, as a park Naturalist helps you get to know some of the night shift wildlife that inhabit our parks and backyards. We will use UV lights in order to attract nocturnal insects that we otherwise never get to see, and use highly sensitive microphones to isolate and amplify the echolocation of the bats flying around the park!

More about Mill Mountain Park
Mill Mountain Park is a beautiful park overlooking the city, best known as the home of the Roanoke Star. The star stands 88.5 feet tall, lit by 2,000 feet of neon, and you can see it from all over the Valley. There are two overlooks with views stretching out for 50+ miles, plus the 3.3-mile Star Trail climbing up from Riverland Road. A huge variety of events happen here, from races, group hikes, seasonal gatherings, and music but if you're in town, even if there isn't an event, you should go for the views.
