Please park in the grass overflow lot and perpendicular along the driveway outside of the gate when the parking lot is full.

This event is free of charge, but donations are very appreciated. Proceeds help fund preserve upkeep and programming.

Please, no flashlights as a courtesy to other visitors. Plan for mosquitos!

Rules for guests on the Property:

* No touching, capturing (in glass jars or other containers) or any other actions that cause harm to the fireflies, or other animals you may encounter on your hike.

* No flashlights, phone lights or flash photography allowed.

* No bug spray, this not only kills mosquitoes, but also the delicate fireflies.

* No pets allowed, being dark &amp; no lights allowed, it is unsafe for other visitors &amp; the dogs to navigate past each other on our narrow boardwalk. Plus, dusk is when our Preserve predators are more active.

* Please, no smoking on the boardwalk/Preserve property, it has been very dry, and fires can start very easily in these hot conditions.

We will have several volunteers wearing high-viz vests &amp; name tags, along the boardwalk, please report any visitors not following these rules so they can be removed from the Preserve for everyone's safety &amp; comfort.

Event will be canceled in the case of inclement weather, please check our Facebook page for updates the day of.

We will have Firefly shirts for sale onsite for $18 each, card only.
