Give a Hoot: Protecting Owls at Night in High Park
Event Details
Step into the shadows for an evening nature hike where we unveil the world of owls in High Park. Like all nocturnal animals, owls are specially adapted to the dark. But what happens as the nighttime sky shrinks with artificial lights of urban ecosystems like Toronto? Join us for an educational evening walk about the owls of High Park. We will learn about the challenges they face due to light pollution in an increasingly illuminated world and what we can do to help them and other after-dark dwellers in High Park.
Price: $10
Please bring:
- A flashlight, headlamp or fully charged cellphone.
NOTE: Pre-registration is required for all our events, hikes and workshops. We do this to ensure we don’t exceed our capacity for indoor events or the maximum limits for group sizes on High Park’s ecologically sensitive trails. Please register on our website before coming to High Park.
We cannot guarantee availability of walk-in spots. If an event is at capacity, please put yourself on our waitlist. We will notify waitlisted participants if we open up new spots or sessions for our events. Please contact us if you have any questions.
