Join the Rose City Astronomers, Audubon Society of Portland and Metro for an evening under the stars at Glendoveer Gold Course and Nature Trail. Participants will peer through telescopes and learn about distant stellar objects and common summer constellations. Learn about nocturnal wildlife and meet a live raptor while waiting for the sky to darken. Come prepared to let your eyes adjust to the darkness and leave your flashlights at home. If the sky is covered by clouds, the event will be canceled.

Pets policy: To protect plants, wildlife and people, Metro does not allow pets at most regional parks and natural areas.

Seeing-eye dogs or other service animals are allowed. Please bring cleanup materials.
