Want to see fireflies sparkling 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 magnifier bug box that you may use to observe fireflies up close during the program and take home at the end of the program. All children must be accompanied by a registered adult and will be conducted entirely outdoors.
