Firefly Sanctuary, Greenbelt | Greenbelt, MD

Fireflies bring out the kid in us. Let’s celebrate that youthful magic together as we learn about their special love language, why we should not mow lawns or rake leaves, and how outdoor lights mess up the whole purpose behind those flashes of light.
The City of Greenbelt is home to Maryland’s first Firefly Sanctuary, located at Stream Valley Park. This area provides firefly habitat and resources, restricts pesticide use, and provides relief from artificial lighting. We will meet right before dusk to discuss the firefly’s life and love interests, then take a short walk over to the Sanctuary to enjoy the lightning bug show. Stay for as long as you would like. Specific meeting instructions will be provided after registration and payment have been completed.
