## About

A drop-off evening at Irvine Nature Center led by environmental educators. Kids share a pizza dinner, go on a night hike to listen for winter owls and search for things that react to UV light, do glow-themed arts and games, learn about owl adaptations and finish with s’mores around the campfire.
