Guided Nature Walk: Treeholes & Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes spend the first half of their lives in water. Before humans were around to provide artificial containers, mosquitoes evolved to take advantage of natural pockets of water such as rock pools and treeholes.

Join Drew Insch for a walk where we'll learn about some of the 51 mosquito species documented in Shelby County, how to spot potential breeding sites, and steps to take to avoid bites. If we're lucky, we may even find the beneficial Elephant Mosquito, which doesn't bite and eats the larvae of harmful mosquitoes.

This program will be held on uneven trail surfaces surfaces including single-track natural trails.

This event is pay-what-you-can, with a suggested contribution of $3 per person.
