Vernal Equinox Hike

The vernal or spring equinox marks the date the Sun passes directly over the celestial equator on its northward journey. It also marks the beginning of astronomical spring in the northern hemisphere.  Usually associated with 12 hours of day and night, the tilt of the Earth’s axis is pointed neither directly at nor away from the Sun. Celebrated across many cultures, this is a time for renewal and rebirth. It represents the continued lengthening of days and the return of light for growth among all life.  

Director of Learning Tom Finley will guide us on a hike to explore the significance of the spring in Wisconsin. After the hike, we’ll enjoy time around a fire.
