Celebrate The North Carolina Science Festival in beautiful Person County, NC!

Activate your senses while the natural world transitions from day to night at this all ages, outdoor event. Educators will guide groups through pasture and wooded trails while the full moon rises over the pond. Check out designated observation areas for the night sky, birds, moths, frogs, native plants, and more. Grab a bite from our food vendors and bring a blanket to relax on the lawn or sit by the campfire in our picnic area.

The Land at Hawkins Loop, located less than 30 minutes from Durham, Hillsborough, Roxboro in beautiful Person County, offers more than 50 acres of pasture and old growth forest, heavily populated by a wide range of birds and wildlife - including a priority block of the North Carolina Bird Atlas citizen science initiative!
