Twilight Firefly Tour
Saturday, June 14, 2008 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM
Location: Cradle of Forestry

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A sure sign of summertime is the blinking of fireflies or what some like to call lightning bugs. Enjoy a magical evening in the forest from 7:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. and learn about the natural history of these fascinating insects.

Park and meet at the Pink Beds Picnic Area located next to the Cradle of Forestry on Highway 276. The firefly walk will be lead by a ranger from the Cradle of Forestry. The group will meet and discuss the life cycle of a firefly before taking an easy, slow paced walk to look for them near the forests' edge along the Pink Beds Trail. Children will also have the opportunity to make a special firefly craft.

Please bring along a flashlight and your sense of wonder.

Admission for this event is $6.00 for adults and $3.00 for youth, and Federal Interagency Passport and Federal Golden Passport holders.
