Evening Firefly Watch for Adults

Loading Events

Thursday, June 25

8:30-10 pm

Registration fee:  $20/$15 for HSV members

Join Mass Audubon at the Village to explore the fascinating lives of fireflies. Learn about fireflies and how best to view or gently catch and release these mystical glowing lights of summer. After a presentation about the unique lives of these diverse insects, we’ll take an evening walk in the meadows for firefly viewing while keeping our eyes open for the stars, planets, and twilight wildlife.

NOTE: This program is geared for adults to learn more about the behaviors and habits of fireflies; a kid-friendly version is offered on Tuesday, June 30.  Participants should be prepared to walk at least a mile over uneven terrain during this program.

Advanced registration required.
