Learn just how smart our crow friends are. Their ability to recognize humans, pass along knowledge to offspring, use of tools, you name it. We’ll send the Zoom link info a few days before the meeting as well as share it on social media and prominently include it on our website.

Holiday lights and décor will accentuate a lovely half-mile Heard nature trail. This nighttime hike through the woods will enchant your family. Also, you'll get a glimpse of the Dinosaurs Live! exhibit along the trail. Please note that the dinosaurs are not animated during the event. In keeping with the Heard's role as a nature preserve, this light display is designed to enhance, rather than overpower, the sanctuary's natural beauty. Live, festive music will delight audiences under the stars in the Heard outdoor amphitheater.

Date and Times: Dec. 9 & 10, 2022; 6:30-9:30 p.m.

Tickets: $11 for adults & seniors and $8 for kids 3-12 (children ages 2 and under are free). Heard Museum Members save $3 per ticket.

Presenter: Duy Vu, City of Cedar Hill Texas Environmental Manager
