Owl Prowl

Owls of Lake View: A Guided Evening Exploration

Due to the popularity of this program, registration opens, September 7th, 2026 at 9 am.

Now’s your chance to come face-to-face with these oft-nocturnal birds of prey. Naturalists from Cleveland Metroparks will share stories of the owls that inhabit Northeast Ohio before leading a hike in hopes of observing wild owls perched in the trees of Lake View.

This program will start with a presentation by naturalists with Cleveland Metroparks, inside the Community Mausoleum. Following the presentation, we will explore multiple areas of the cemetery to identify various species of fireflies. The presentation will be about 45 minutes followed by 90 minutes for the walk. The route will be approximately 1.5 miles, on paved roads and grassy terrain that may be hilly or uneven at points.

If the event is sold out and you would like to be added to the wait list, please contact Kim Bihler, Director of Donor Services at kbihler@lakeviewcemetery.com.

No physical tickets will be issued. Your name will be added to the event registration list for check-in on the day of the event.

Proceeds benefit the Lake View Cemetery Foundation’s mission to preserve the arboretum and historic landscape and to fund educational programs.
