Description
To celebrate Halloween, the Grandes Fougères Provincial Park invites you to a free activity focused on barn owls (3:00 PM: fun explanations, 4:00 PM: major release)! Note: access to the park's hiking trails remains subject to standard admission fees.
Celebrate Halloween in the heart of nature at Great ferns provincial park in South Province, New Caledonia! Join us on Saturday, October 31 from 3:00 PM for a free, family-friendly event dedicated to discovering and protecting local barn owls. Organized with the Ga’Hoole sanctuary, this afternoon event features fun, educational talks at 3:00 PM exploring the secrets of these protected birds, followed by a grand owl release at 4:00 PM. Up to 15 recovering owls are currently cared for at the sanctuary, and guests will see which ones—such as Bébé Brume, Bubble, Poot, Ohran, or Primevère—are ready to take flight into the wild.
