Description
Experience a magical summer light show with your family and learn how best to view or gently catch and release fireflies! After a short presentation, we'll take an evening walk in the meadows for firefly viewing while keeping our eyes open for the stars, planets, and twilight wildlife.
This is a program designed for families with children, so all registrations require at least one adult and one child. To check our catalog for upcoming firefly programs designed for adults, visit massaudubon.org/berkshiresprograms.
To keep group sizes conducive to firefly catching and viewing, pre-registration is required.

Instructions
Meet at the education wing in the Greylock Glen Outdoor Center in Adams. Enter through the main entrance and turn right. Follow the hallway all the way to the end to reach the classroom space.
This program covers 1.7 miles of wide, gravel-paved trails that are level or gradually sloping.
Bring a headlamp or flashlight if you need extra help seeing in the dark. A red light is especially helpful because it won't remove your natural night vision or disturb wildlife.
While nighttime programs can be great fun, make sure your group is prepared for mosquitos which can be more active during these hours. We recommend wearing bug spray as well as long sleeves and pants. Check yourself and your children for ticks after attending this program.
If the weather forecast or other factors could affect this program, your guide will contact you via email with more information, typically about 24 hours before your program.
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.
