SUMMARY:South Jersey Firefly Festival 2025
DESCRIPTION:\nThe festival includes a number of fun\, family-friendly\, edu
 cation stations scattered along a half-mile\, self-guided trail. We recomm
 end people arrive between 8:00 and 8:15 pm and allow an hour to complete t
 he walk. Some species appear at dusk\; some appear when it is darker (the 
 best viewing is after 9:00). The spectacular tree-top species is near the 
 “fishing ponds”. Bring a flashlight or use your phone's flashlight fun
 ction. NO DOGS PLEASE.\nNEW FOR 2025: Since last year\, the pedestrian bri
 dges over Mantua Creek have been completely replaced. From the bridge you 
 may be able to spot a third firefly species that prefers the creek environ
 ment. Those who don't mind a little hill climbing can walk a bit farther a
 nd look down on the creek fireflies from a higher perspective.\nPoets\, sc
 ientists and people of all ages have long been fascinated by fireflies (li
 ghtning bugs). A familiar sight in parts of the US\, fireflies are the fai
 ries of summer nights. Viewing “nature’s light show” is part of the 
 magic of growing up in New Jersey. But their numbers are declining. Join u
 s as we explore the world of fireflies…the Night Country… and how you 
 can help their numbers increase.\nWHERE: From Rt. 553 (Woodbury-Glassboro 
 Rd) turn west onto Bark Bridge Rd. Park in the lot on the left. The trail 
 begins and ends here at a Welcome Tent. Please car pool\, as space for par
 king is limited. The festival is staffed by volunteers of the Gloucester C
 ounty Nature Club and employees of the NJ State Park Service.\nAttendance 
 is free.\nRAIN DATE: Sunday\, June 29th at the same time. Any weather dela
 y will be announced here and on Meetup.com.\nSponsored by:\n\n\n 	Gloucest
 er County Nature Club\n 	NJ State Park Service\n 	Friends of Tall Pines St
 ate Preserve\n\n\n\n
