Event Description: Few sights capture the wonder of summer quite like the flicker of fireflies. But their glow is growing dim. Across North America, firefly populations are declining due to habitat loss, pesticide use, light pollution, and other human-caused threats. Conservation educator and macro photographer Danae Wolfe will guide you through the curious lives of fireflies, from glowing larvae to synchronous spectacles. Author of Grass Isn’t Greener: The Everyday Conservationists Guide to Bringing Nature to Your Yard will share how to identify common backyard fireflies, understand their unique flash patterns and lifecycles, and discover what makes them so vulnerable. Come away with practical, research-backed ways to support fireflies in your own yard and community—proving that small actions taken at home, can keep magic alive for generations to come. Join live to participate in our online learning community or watch after as your schedule allows. All registrants will receive a recording of the class with access to view the class for 30 days after the live session.
