Creatures of the Night Hike

Join Naturalist Sarah on a moonlit stroll of the trails at Creek Bend Farm to learn about the creatures of the night. We will learn about nocturnal animals like bats, owls, coyotes, and flying squirrels and use red-light flashlights and owl calls to search for them. This program is weather dependent and registration is required.

Farm Days

Come out for a day of fun at Creek Bend Farm. Try your hand at vintage carnival games, make friends with a goat or a sheep, take a ride on a horse, try some apple cider, and experience the Homestead House, try the kiddie tractor pull. It’s fun for the entire family!

Big Bird Year 2023

This program will be offered each month throughout 2023. The term "big year" in birding is a reference for challenging yourself to see as many bird species in one year as possible. The species you see or hear also needs to be documented by at least one other person for it to count. If you are new to birding or want to take on this challenge with others, join naturalist Debbie Haubert each month for a bird hike. The hikes will rotate through various habitats to give us the best opportunity for a high species count. Registration is required. Please bring your own binoculars.
