The Johnny Appleseed Metro Park District invited nature enthusiasts to enjoy a night hike at McLean Teddy Bear Park. Being outdoors after dark can be scary, but it can be interesting to see what goes on in nature after most people have gone inside for the day. The park district hopes to educate people about wildlife after dark.
"There's all kinds of new animals that are out at night and so it's kind of like the changing of the guards. We're out typically during the day and at nighttime there's really a different type of night life. So, we're going out, we're trying to find some of those animals, but we're also using different senses, because obviously it's dark out," explained Amy Banner, a naturalist with the Johnny Appleseed Metro Park District.
The hikers also participated in activities to learn about how well they can actually see in the dark.
