Join us for an evening presentation at 7:30 in the interpretive center. Dr. Bruce Kimmel will present a fascinating audio-visual presentation on our local bats and how the Virginia Master Naturalists Banshee Reeks Chapter is monitoring their populations. At 9:00p.m. we'll gather behind the Interpretive Center for Northern Virginia Astronomy Club (NOVAC) members to orient us with a brief sky tour and look at deep space objects through their telescopes. Red cellophane and rubber bands will be provided to cover flashlights. Bring a blanket or chair and enjoy the magic of the park after dark.
