Firefly Celebration

Fireflies are one of the most captivating kinds of insects that Iowa has to offer. However, not many people know that firefly populations have declined over the past few decades. We will celebrate these bright bugs by learning why fireflies are in decline, how to protect fireflies at home, and practicing safe catch-and-release. Adults must be present with children for the duration of the program.

This event will take place on Saturday, July 18th, beginning at 8:00 PM. The program location will be Clear Creek Park, located at 1971 South Road Drive in Lansing; please note that this is not the city park located off of Highway X52. Registration is not required.

A full schedule of upcoming events hosted by the Allamakee County Conservation Board and the Driftless Area Education and Visitors Center is available by following the ACCB on Facebook. To register or receive more information on this event or any event you can call the ACCB at 563-538-0401.
