January Nature Night

My life on trails—what a cougar taught me about conservation

Trails play a major role in the life of many Central Oregonians—whether in city parks or mountain wilderness. But have you ever thought about how those trails came to be? Join 27-year Deschutes National Forest trails specialist John Schubert for an evening on trails. Learn about the rich history of trails and how contemporary design, construction, and maintenance strive to minimize our impacts on nature. Finally, John, renowned trail designer and bridge builder across the country, will share tips on how people who love trails can reduce their own impacts while using them. This presentation is free, but you must get your ticket online.

Nature Nights will be held January-March at the Tower Theatre. Each presentation is designed to bring the nature of Central Oregon to the community. For many of us, it bridges the winter gap in birding and hiking, for others it offers a front row seat to the wonders of the world that would otherwise never be seen. Regardless, we hope you’ll join us! All Nature Nights are free and start at 7pm at the Tower Theatre in Bend. We recommend getting your tickets early as Nature Nights tend to sell out fast!
