Nature at Night: A Focus on Fireflies with Pam Newitt (June 28, 2024)

Families are invited to join naturalist Pam Newitt for a close look at these fascinating and complicated creatures of the night. We will learn about the different kinds of fireflies, how they communicate and ways to help their declining populations. After making a safe firefly catcher, we will head out to examine them more closely. All fireflies will be released unharmed. This class will be canceled in the case of rain. This class is for all ages.

Pam Newitt has a B.S. in wildlife conservation from the University of Maryland, has been a professional interpretive naturalist since 1989 and is a long-time active presence at the Preserve. She loves walking woodland trails, looking up for birds and down at wildflowers.
