The Northern Lehigh Recreation Authority, in partnership with Wildlands Conservancy, will be conducting its first fall Community Night Hike on Sept. 10 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Slatington Trailhead.

The program’s theme will be “Meet the Natives.”

Participants will meet some of Wildlands Conservancy’s native wildlife, from reptiles and amphibians to skunks and hawks, then go in search of tracks along the trail to discover what animals might be living here along the Slate Heritage Trail.

The program seeks to show how cool and beneficial these animals are to our ecosystem. The program is free.

Participants must wear sturdy shoes and are encouraged to bring a flashlight or headlamp.
