Wander through the woods at Hard Labor Creek State Park as tiny lights twinkle around you, guiding your way under the starry sky. Join a Ranger, and walk along a moderate to strenuous nature trail looking for firefly species and other night creatures. You may see synchronous fireflies. Event suitable for ages 8 and up.
Did you know that fireflies are natural indicators of healthy ecosystems? You will learn about their importance in nature, how to identify them, and what you can do to attract them to your back yard. You'll even learn how to signal your own name like a firefly using Morse code, and write your name like fireflies with glow in the dark paint using the braille alphabet.
Limited spaces available. If this event is no longer listed on Eventbrite (link below), it is sold out.
This one-mile nature trail forms a loop and is not suitable for strollers. Please bring: A flashlight with a red light; Water; Closed-toe shoes.
