About this activity

Join the Land Trust for a special hike to celebrate the nocturnal wildlife at Arroyo Hondo Preserve!

Join the Land Trust for a special night hike at the Arroyo Hondo Preserve on Friday, October 24th from 6 pm to 8:30 pm! Normally only accessible during the daytime, we invite you to visit the preserve for a guided night hike all about the nocturnal wildlife at Arroyo Hondo! We will rely on our ears and eyes for signs of nocturnal wildlife, including bats, owls, insects, and more.

This slow-paced walk will be roughly 2 miles on variable terrain with some elevation gain. Weather can be variable at the preserve, so dressing in layers is recommended. We will be hiking in low visibility, so please bring your personal headlamp as we have limited numbers to lend. Water, parking, and bathrooms are available at the preserve.

Get outside with us! The Land Trust offers a number of free, guided public hikes and other outdoor experiences around Santa Barbara County. Join us for a volunteer day, explore beautiful places, and learn how you can support conservation work in your community!
