Lights in the Night: Fireflies

Have you ever wondered why fireflies flash on summer nights and if all flashes are the same? We will learn all about the firefly’s life cycle and the meaning of the flashes that brighten our summer nights through an interactive game fun for all ages. We will also spend time observing the fireflies around us while learning about conservation concerns and ways we can help protect fireflies. Dress for the outdoors and bring a red light flashlight if you have one. In case of rain, the program will be held indoors. Meet at the Visitor Center in Ricketts Glen State Park. We will have an optional drive up to the hayfields to check out more fireflies. Registration Required. Contact Rhiannon Summers at 570-477-7780 or rhsummers@pa.gov for more information.

    I will need accommodation in order to participate in this program. I recognize that if an ASL interpreter is needed, I will need to register 5 days or more in advance of the event so that the park can secure an interpreter for me.

    I will notify Ricketts Glen State Park if my plans change.
