Description
Learn about fireflies and how best to view or gently catch and release these mystical glowing lights of summer. After a presentation about the unique lives of these diverse insects, we'll take an evening walk in the meadows for firefly viewing while keeping our eyes open for the stars, planets, and twilight wildlife.
To keep group sizes conducive to firefly viewing, pre-registration is required for this program. See below for information about the trails and terrain of your program's location.

Instructions
Meet at the education wing in the Greylock Glen Outdoor Center. Enter through the main entrance, turn right, and follow the hallway to the end to reach the classroom space.
This program covers up to 1.7 miles of wide, gravel-paved trails that are level or gradually sloping. This is a night program. Mosquitos can be numerous at night, so bringing your own bug spray is highly recommended. Wearing long sleeves and pants can be helpful as well. Check yourself for ticks after attending this program.
Bring a flashlight if this will make traversing the trails at night more comfortable. If possible, bring a flashlight that has a red light to reduce impacts on nocturnal wildlife and avoid removing other participants' natural night vision.
Directions to the Greylock Glen Outdoor Center:
1. As you travel on Fred Mason Road in Adams, turn onto Gould Road near Jaeschke Orchards.
2. Follow Gould Road up the hill. Turn left to stay on Gould Road. Do not continue straight onto Thiel Road, or you'll end up on an unpaved road leading to a water tower.
3. Follow Gould Road a short distance until it starts to curve to the right. Turn right into a driveway leading into the Greylock Glen parking lot, marked by a Greylock Glen banner sign. You will end up in a large, paved parking lot with the Outdoor Center visible.
Doors will open 15 minutes before the program's start time to welcome any early arrivals.
