Firefly Walk

If you have never experienced the magic of the forest lighting up with fireflies or you just want to relive the happy summer nights of your childhood, join us for Firefly Walk at Pittock Conservation Area. This family-friendly night hike begins with games all about firefly development and communication. Once it's dark enough, we will begin our hike to hopefully see the fireflies dazzle in the forest and catch some in the meadow for close-up observation. Nets and bug containers will be provided by UTRCA staff.
Please note that this is not a drop-off program. We invite families with at least one adult to come and enjoy a classic summer pastime together. Please come dressed appropriately for a nighttime adventure in the woods. You may bring a flashlight or headlamp if desired. We will be walking slowly on unpaved paths on mostly flat terrain with gentle slopes and covering a distance of up to 2 km. If you have any questions about the trip, please contact Rachael Jensen in advance by emailing [email protected] in advance. We can’t wait to catch fireflies with you!
