Firefly Glow Hike & Campfire
July 19 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm
Independence Day may be over, but Mother Nature is bringing her own bright explosions to a preserve near you — fireflies! Become immersed in nature at night and experience the bright magic of these beautiful beetles. Discover the science behind these staples of summer and craft a glowing creation of your own. Once the stage is set, take a short hike and seek out this incredible insect for a closer look. End the night by the light of a campfire and roast a tasty marshmallow.
Fee: Free! Age: All ages. Registration required by Thursday, July 18, by calling 815-722-4121 or online.
The program will include a 0.5-mile hike on uneven terrain. Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service to participate in this program should submit a request online no later than 48 hours before the program.
