Midpen guided activities are led by trained volunteer docent naturalists. All are welcome.About this Event
Come celebrate National Moth Week, scheduled for July 18-26, and see for yourself that moths are much more than little brown things that eat your clothing! Docent Naturalists Debbi Brusco, Jack Owicki, Vivian Neou, Ray Curiel, and Annette Herz will use special lights to attract the moths to sheets so you can observe how beautiful and interesting these winged creatures are. You'll also have the opportunity to be a community scientist by photographing and submitting your observations to iNaturalist. Bring snacks, a flashlight, and your camera or phone. This easy, observational activity is well suited if you need a less physically challenging outing. (Notes: This activity takes place at the parking lot but wear close-toed, sturdy shoes/boots; you’ll have the option to leave earlier than the scheduled end time.) Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after July 5 at 12:00 p.m. (noon) and close July 17 at 2 p.m.
Where to Meet:
Meet at the Monte Bello Parking Area on Page Mill Road (across from Los Trancos Preserve), 7 miles west of I-280 or 1.5 miles east of Skyline Boulevard. Those traveling from I-280 on Page Mill Rd. should allow approximately 35 minutes travel time.
