This free Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) event welcomes all ages to connect with nature in not-so-scary ways. Feel free to come in a costume.

HOWLoween stops along the trail will include birds of prey displays, Track or Treat, the Bone Yard, the Bat Cave, games, and crafts. A campfire with acoustic music will welcome attendees. The trees and shrubs along the center’s outdoor garden trail will be in their autumn colors. Visitors can also see indoor nature exhibits.
