Nature at Night: Moth Lighting (All Ages)

Experience the wonder of Wildwood Preserve after dark during this hands-on exploration of nocturnal insects. Your family will help set up a light sheet—the same technique entomologists use to study nighttime creatures—and observe which insects are drawn to the light. It's a fascinating way to discover a side of nature most visitors never see. This program is perfect for curious kids and adults who want to learn why these nighttime animals matter to our ecosystem. You'll gain insight into the behaviors and importance of moths and other insects that come alive when the sun sets. All ages are welcome to participate in this unique outdoor experience at Oak Grove School within the Metropark.
