Description
Poets, scientists and people of all ages have long been fascinated by fireflies (lightning bugs). Join us as we explore the world of fireflies… the Night Country… and how you can help fireflies be a part of our landscape for years to come.
The festival includes a number of fun, family-friendly, education stations scattered along a half-mile, self-guided trail. We recommend people arrive between 8:00 and 8:15 pm and allow an hour to complete the walk. Some species appear at dusk; some appear when it is darker (the best viewing is after 9:00). The spectacular tree-top species is near the “fishing ponds”. Bring a flashlight. NO DOGS PLEASE.
WHERE: From Rt. 553 (Woodbury-Glassboro Rd) turn west onto Bark Bridge Rd. Park in the lot on the left. The trail begins and ends here at a Welcome Tent. Please car pool, as space for parking is limited. The festival is staffed by volunteers of the Gloucester County Nature Club and employees of the NJ State Park Service.
REGISTRATION: Attendance is free but we request that people pre-register so we can anticipate numbers.
Please email to: Fireflyfest@gcnatureclub.org . Tell your name and the number of people in your group.
