Landis Arboretum to Host Annual Halloween Owl Prowl

ESPERANCE – The Landis Arboretum will hold its annual Halloween Owl Prowl on Saturday, Oct. 25, offering a guided opportunity to listen for the nocturnal birds of prey that inhabit the Arboretum's woods on Lape Road.

The event, led by nature educator George Steele, is a traditional end-of-season program designed to teach participants about the different owl species native to the area. Attendees will join Steele on a walk through the woods to listen for and identify the calls of these fascinating birds.

The program will run from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Participants should meet at the Nicholas J. Juried Meeting House at the Arboretum.

Registration is required. The cost for Arboretum members is $5 per person or $15 per family. For non-members, the cost is $15 per person or $25 per family.

Partial funding for the event is provided through a grant from the Stewart’s Shops Holiday Match Program.
