Description
But what is all that flashing about? We'll first spend some time inside discussing the science behind the glow, and then follow-up by exploring the trail to find fireflies at the sanctuary.
Learn how you can join a national network of community scientists by observing fireflies in your own backyard and helping scientists map our country's firefly population.
Suggested minimum age 5 and up.

Instructions
Meet Promptly at Allen's Pond "Stone Barn" 786 Horseneck Rd, Dartmouth, MA 02748. Go to this address and you will see the Mass Audubon sign across the street. Follow the dirt road until the parking lot and follow the little path to the Stone Barn on the left.
The first half of the program is inside, and the second half goes for a short walk, easy for kids, to try and find fireflies.
