​Join us for a unique evening exploring the fascinating world of moths, nature’s incredible nocturnal pollinators.

We’ll be joined by Blaine Rothauser, Senior Ecologist at GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc., for a hands-on, interactive session where you’ll observe moths up close and learn about their critical role in the environment. Blaine will guide us through the process of identifying different species and share how we can support local moth populations right here in New Jersey.
​
Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned enthusiast, this session offers something for everyone. There will be plenty of time for questions and personal discoveries throughout the evening.
 
What to bring:
  • A headlamp or flashlight
  • Weather-appropriate clothing
  • A camera or smartphone for close-up photography

​You’ll be amazed by the unique and stunning features of these often-overlooked insects.

Directions: Enter the park and go north on Hartshorne Drive until you pass E Lot. Shortly after you will make a right turn when you see a sign that says “Fishing Beach”. Drive to the end and find us there!
