Community Event & Educational Programming - Friends of French Park Firefly Hikes

Join Friends of French Park and learn about the different firefly species at French Park. This hike will include exploration of the different colors and flash patterns. Learn how to tell different species apart. 

 

The hike is an approximately 1.75-mile-long loop and will occur in darkness. Study walking shoes/boots and flashlights/headlamps with red light mode are recommended. Firefly emergence is temperature dependent, and population level may vary. This event will still occur with light rain. An email will be sent prior to the event if there are any changes. 

 

The meeting location is the first parking lot in the lower portion of French Park. Restroom facilities are at the opposite end of the park.
