Firefly Blitz

Monday, June 23rd at 6:30pm

Meeting Location: Cades Cove Information Kiosk

Join us in Cades Cove for a Firefly Blitz in Cades Cove on Monday, June 23! We’ll be going out to the cove before dusk to record firefly activity to identify species and document.

No experience necessary but space is limited. We will be doing field studies, in the dark until 11 pm or later. We will be only be using flashlights covered with red cellophane or a red setting. Because of the extended time in the dark and data collection, this activity is not recommended for children under the age of 14 years old.

Event Details:

Download iNaturalist to your phone (it’s free!)
Follow prompts in the app to create an iNaturalist account
Bring water and some snacks (we’ll also provide water)
Wear weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy shoes for hiking
Headlamp or flashlight
