The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources has prepared an activity to give visitors a look at what happens when the sun goes down and the stars appear in the sky.Visitors can learn why and see amazing photographs of the animals that are out and about at night during an upcoming, free exhibit at the Hardware Ranch Wildlife Education Center in October. Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Hardware Wildlife Education Center Director Marni Lee said has prepared an exhibit and interactive stations for visitors to experience and remember for a long time.“The wildlife you’ll learn about are those you’ll mostly likely hear at night while you’re sleeping in your tent or that you may encounter during a midnight walk,” Lee said. “There are many reasons why nighttime is the right time for these animals to be active. We encourage you to come to the center to learn more about Utah’s ‘scariest’ wildlife during the spookiest month of the year.”The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources’ Hardware Wildlife Education Center is located at the Hardware Wildlife Management Area in beautiful Blacksmith Fork Canyon in Cache County. The education center is open seasonally, primarily during the winter months while the sleigh rides and elk viewing are taking place. The exhibit includes display panels with jaw-dropping photographs and fun facts about each animal and bird. Activities for your family — including free craft projects and hourly story times will also be offered. A path near the center will become an educational walk with enlarged book pages offering fun animal.“We hope you’ll join us to learn more about Utah’s nocturnal wildlife and enjoy some free hours of fun with your family,” Lee said.The Hardware Wildlife Education Center can be reached by traveling 15 miles east of Hyrum on state Route 101. With the fall colors on full display, the drive through Blacksmith Fork Canyon should be gorgeous. Fall fishing is also available in the Blacksmith Fork River that flows down the canyon.While the event is free, participants are encouraged to register in advance on Eventbrite.
