Fig. 01 — Historic Yates Mill County Park
About the event
Have you ever wondered what happens at Yates Mill County Park after the gates close? Join park volunteer Dave Dorman for a behind-the-scenes look at the park's hidden nighttime wildlife. This interactive talk will be held in the park's auditorium, and participants are welcome to stay afterward for a question-and-answer session with the presenter.
Because the park is closed after dark, this trail camera project required special permission and coordination with park staff, providing a rare opportunity to document the park's nocturnal animals.
Learn the basics of trail cameras, hear a few lessons learned, and enjoy a collection of photographs and video clips of the fascinating wildlife that comes alive after sunset. All ages are welcome. Pre-registration is encouraged. FREE.
Schedule: Oct 17, 2026 Saturday from 2pm to 2:45pm
Duration: 45 mins
Ages: All ages,
