Nature programs set for Friday

Back-to-back ranger-led nature programs will be Friday at Herbert Hoover National Historic Site, exit 254 of I-80, West Branch.

At 8:30 p.m., a national park ranger will lead a short walk on the prairie trails after sunset. Explore the prairie at dusk and learn techniques for nature study at night. The walk will last about 45 minutes.

At 9:30 p.m., join a ranger for stargazing. Learn about identifying objects in the night sky. A telescope will be provided, but you can bring your own or bring binoculars. Stargazing will last until 10:30 p.m.

Meet in front of the library and museum. You may bring a flashlight, but its use is discouraged on the trails. Dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes. Insect repellent is recommended.
