It looks like the weather will be dry for the night hike Friday.

The Night Hike through Sodalis Nature Preserve will begin at 7:30 p.m. May 28.

Participants will hear the story of Sodalis Nature Preserve and learn about the bats that hibernate there, along with making seasonal observations along the trail. The full program will last about two hours and covers a 2.5-mile loop but participants are welcome to return to the parking lot after an hour for a shorter option.
