Nature Night Life and Night Sky Explorations
By Anna Fantasia, David Mues, Vinita Domier and Sara Thompson
Special to the Enterprise
Free event at the Woodland Regional Park Preserve! Saturday, February 8 from 5-8pm. Hosted by Explorit Science Center, with guests from the Davis Astronomy Club. We hope to see you there to learn about nature’s night life and explore the night sky (weather permitting).
The Woodland Regional Park Preserve is a 160-acre nature park at the site of the retired landfill located east of Road 102 and south of Road 25. The vision for this Park Preserve includes enhancing the wetland, plant, and wildlife resources on the site; improving access for public visitation; developing formal and informal education programs, and creating a Center for Nature, Science, and Culture. This Center would house formal and informal education for individuals of all ages, attracting classes from local schools, supporting citizen science, and docent training.
Join Explorit Science Center as we experience sundown at the Woodland Regional Park Preserve. Become citizen scientists as we observe and record the sights and sounds of nature at twilight. The Davis Astronomy Club, led by Vinita Domier, will be onsite with telescopes for a captivating tour of the night sky which includes viewings of constellations, star clusters, and galaxies. Several planets will be in view as well as the waxing gibbous Moon, with visible craters.
Please note, in Google Maps, search J7RF+9W. Apple Maps will take you to the wrong road. The park entrance is on County Road 102 across from a suburban development with a “Welcome to Historic Woodland” sign. Please dress appropriately for an outdoor, nighttime event, and bring a flashlight as outside lighting is limited. We hope to see you there!

Business loans can feel overwhelming, especially when you're not sure how much to borrow or which lender fits. One thing that helped me was building confidence in other areas while sorting finances; something like singing test kept me relaxed. For loans, compare rates and terms carefully before committing.
What a fantastic way to explore nature after dark—thanks for organizing this event at Woodland Regional Park Preserve! I love how it blends citizen science with stargazing, much like how creative pursuits such as Pixel Art encourage us to observe details in a new light. The moon and constellations through telescopes sound magical. I’ll be there with my family, ready to learn and be inspired!

The information shared here is quite helpful for applicants. I was looking for details about Suhbadra Yojana Status, and this article explained the process in an easy way. The instructions are simple, practical, and convenient for regular users.
I came across this gaming site while looking for something new to try. The registration process was simple, and the Big Mumbai login page was easy to locate afterward. I browsed through a few games and looked at the download information as well. The platform has a clean structure, and I liked that I could find the important sections without clicking through too many pages.
