Remember the slow summer days of long ago…evening walks surrounded by a choir of crickets while fireflies emerged through the twilight stillness? There’s something magical and nostalgic about these little light bearers. But unfortunately, due to loss of habitat and increased light pollution, firefly populations are disappearing all over the world. That’s why the sanctuary is honored to be a certified firefly habitat.

Join us at the sanctuary as we experience a beautiful evening under the stars enjoying the peace, LIGHT and tranquility of our nighttime friends while we learn how to protect them. Every July, a world arises from the sanctuary’s twilight, bringing forth some of the smallest insects often hidden from sight during the day. Together, we’ll watch the woodlands come alive with hundreds of twinkling firefly lights…a rare and truly magical experience you’ll never forget.
