Get started on your holiday celebration with an evening visit to our meadow and enjoy an explosive display brought to us by our state insect...the firefly.

We will hike ~1/2 mile through the forest to the meadow to see the lightning bugs in both habitats, and listen for night singing insects, and look out for bats. All ages. Questions?
