Perseids Meteor Shower Viewing Event

Fontenelle Forest is hosting a Perseids Meteor shower viewing at Neale Woods. This annual meteor shower is renowned for producing some of the brightest shooting stars. The event will begin with a brief evening hike on dirt-packed trails through the prairie and forest. Then as night falls, stargaze together and watch for shooting stars while learning about meteor showers and general astronomy from seasoned volunteer, Bob Fuchs. Cost is $5 for Fontenelle Forest members and $15 for non-members.

Make sure to dress appropriately for the weather, wear good walking shoes, and bring a water bottle. Please bring a folding chair to sit on while stargazing and be ready to hike a short distance on easy to moderate terrain with your chair to our meteor shower viewing area.
