Astronomy on the Meadow - Connemara Meadow Preserve - Allen

Join Master Naturalist Clyde Camp for a night walk and Astronomy on the Meadow from 9-11pm.  The walk is generally held on the Saturday or Sunday closest to the New Moon, but be sure and check our calendar for specific dates and status of that month's walk.

That's right, these are night walks - can't see the stars during the day!

We'll meet at the Suncreek Park circular parking lot (just west from the normal Connemara entrance on Alma - see map ) at 9pm sharp and then walk to the Meadow the back way. The walk will be about two hours and we'll back at the cars at 11:00pm.
