Firefly Monitoring Night 6/9/2023

This event is no longer on sale.

Friday June 9

8:30 PM  –  10:30 PM

Preregistration required for this program geared towards adults as well as interested youth ages 16 and up with an adult.

Join us as we search Rowe Woods for lesser-known species of fireflies and collect data to contribute to Firefly Atlas, an initiative of Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation aimed at advancing knowledge and conservation of North America’s fireflies. Following the Firefly Atlas protocol, we’ll hike to habitat of the target species, identify flash patterns, and record data to contribute to this national community science project. Perfect for those who want to learn more about firefly identification and contribute to conservation efforts. Program will involve hiking after dark without lights. 

Meet outside the front doors of the Visitor Center at our Rowe Woods location. 

Members $7; nonmembers $12 (include daily admission).
