Celebrate 40 Years of Halloween Hikes!
Saturday, October 24 | 8:00 pm
To thank you for supporting the Preservation Foundation, donors are invited to enjoy complimentary registration for the 40th and final season of Halloween Hikes at Ryerson Conservation Area in Riverwoods.
Participants follow a candlelit trail through the woods, stopping along the way to watch nature-themed skits performed by Forest Preserve educators. The complete experience lasts about 90 minutes and includes approximately 1.5 miles of walking.
Designed to entertain rather than frighten, the program offers seasonal fun for all ages, including preschoolers. The evening ends beside a campfire, weather permitting, with apple cider and donuts. For decades, Halloween Hikes has combined environmental education, theater, and humor outdoors. Educators have introduced generations of participants to the natural world through original skits featuring costumed characters.
Donor registration is complimentary. Space is limited.
