Thursday, June 19, 8 pm

The evening is aglow at Hancock Shaker Village!  Join Mass Audubon naturalist Nicaela Haig along the Farm and Forest Trail to look for fireflies—the poster child of summer insects.  You’ll learn about their fascinating life cycle and what makes them shine.  Appropriate for all ages.  Pre-registration required [include link].

Participants should come prepared for the weather and wear mosquito repellant. Long sleeves and pants are a good idea, as is sturdy, mud-proof footwear.  A flashlight is optional if participants want more comfort moving around at night.  Join Mass Audubon for an evening walk at the Village to explore the fascinating lives of fireflies.
