About this Event

Join us at beautiful Ingrid Graham Historic Hellam Nature Preserve as we observe nature's light show. We'll learn about fireflies' life cycle, how to identify species by their light pattern, and the science behind their illuminated butts. We'll also learn about the threats to fireflies and what steps you can take to ensure their survival.
