As twilight fades into darkness, the forest comes alive with a symphony of nocturnal sounds. The gentle rustling of leaves, the distant call of an owl, and the soft glow of fireflies create a magical ambiance that transports you to a world far removed from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

These guided night hikes for ages 18 and over will take place in the summer and fall during full moons.

Tickets are very limited! Only 12 spots per session to make your nighttime experience safer and more enjoyable. Register at bit.ly/trailstwilight24

Make sure to bring your bug spray and don’t forget those flashlights or head lamps!

PLEASE NOTE: Each guided hike will be different. WW cannot guarantee you will see or hear animals. WW cannot guarantee how wildlife will respond to human presence. Keep in mind that the trails are more difficult to navigate in the dark (under limited or zero light conditions) and this event may not be suitable for everyone.

The Wesselman Woods Night Owls Series is a platform dedicated to exploring the deep connections between society, culture, ecology, and environment.

We invite you to embark on a journey of learning, questioning, and reflecting. In 2024, Wesselman Woods is partnering with Tri-State Creation Care to focus on an overarching theme: Religion and Ecology.

Throughout 2024, the Night Owls Series will present a diverse lineup of speakers, each representing a different religious or spiritual pathway. Our aim is to foster a deeper understanding of the various beliefs and practices that shape our community and their relationship with the natural world.

By engaging with new perspectives, we hope to bridge divides and cultivate a sense of unity in our shared commitment to environmental stewardship, advocacy, and justice.

Admission: FREE | Audience: Ages 18+ | Time: 6-7 PM

2024 Topics

• Catholicism & Ecology – September 12

The connections between the arts and nature are numerous.

The shapes, the textures, the colors… all aspects of nature can be inspiring. With this in mind, Wesselman Woods sought a new way to connect our community with the ecology of our region and it resulted in the creation of the Annual Juried Art Exhibition.

Each year, we put out a call for artists to submit work that showcases what they love or what they are concerned about within our bioregion through a visual medium.

In 2024, entries for this exhibit will be open to ages 18 and older. One “Best in Show” winner will be selected from the selected entries as well as at least four Honorable Mentions (per the Juror’s discretion).

Selected artwork will be on display at the Wesselman Woods Nature Center during three of our busiest months (mid-June to September).

In addition to the physical display, images of artwork and links to the artist portfolios are shared online through our newsletter, website, and social media (artists are not required to have an online portfolio to enter the contest or be considered for an award).

• Themes: Wildlife, nature, and environmental issues of the Ohio River Valley bioregion.

• Accepted Media: 2-D (photography, painting, drawing, printmaking, graphic design) and 3-D (sculpture, fiber, and mixed media)

Please read the full prospectus (guidelines) for the show before you apply.

Awards

We are grateful to our friends at Inman’s Picture Framing for sponsoring the awards and reception for 2024!

• Inman Award for Best in Show: This winner will receive a monetary prize ($350) and a one-year individual membership to Wesselman Woods (WW).

• Honorable Mentions will also receive a monetary prize ($50 each) and a one-year individual membership to Wesselman Woods (WW).
