Want to see fireflies dancing over the grasses at Prairie Ridge? Join us for an evening of fireflies! You'll learn about how and why fireflies light up and how you can help scientists learn more about fireflies in North Carolina and beyond. Then we'll watch the fireflies as they light up over the prairie!
Your registration fee covers the cost of a bug box that you may use to observe fireflies up during the program. Members receive a $2 discount. All fireflies must be released before you leave.
This program is for ages 8+ and will be conducted entirely outdoors. Come dressed for the weather and wear closed-toe shoes. Bring a filled water bottle and flashlight as it will be dark on your walk back to your car at the end of the program. Meet your leaders in the Outdoor Classroom, a short 3-5 minute walk down the gravel path from the parking lot.
