Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary — 472 W Mountain Rd., Lenox, MA
As the sun lowers, the trails at Pleasant Valley set the perfect scene for a closer look at nature's most misunderstood animals. This family-friendly Halloween walk pairs seasonal excitement with real natural history, as your naturalist unravels the myths and legends behind the creatures that inspire Halloween's most iconic symbols. You'll hike at a leisurely pace as dusk settles in, looking for wildlife signs and learning how bats, owls, spiders, and other sanctuary residents benefit the ecosystems around them. Walk away with a deeper curiosity for the animals that thrive as the season shifts and a few good stories to share on the way home. Meet in front of the red barn at Pleasant Valley on the side facing the wide gravel path. Wear sturdy shoes and dress for the weather; expect to walk on uneven surfaces as the light fades toward the end of the program. In the case of inclement weather, registered participants will be notified of any cancellations by email.
