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
The 568-acre city park on top of Mill Mountain, home to the Roanoke Star. The star is 88.5 feet tall, lit by 2,000 feet of neon, visible for miles. Two overlooks with views stretching 20 to 60 miles across the valley. The 3.3-mile Star Trail climbs from Riverland Road to the summit. Events are outdoor: races, group hikes, seasonal things.
