Investigate bats, moths, and synchronous fireflies which will soon be out in force flitting around Tom's Run. Wielding microphones, sheets, and headlamps, bat biologist Amber Nolder and entomologist Tim Tomon will survey bats and moths, educating onlookers as they monitor forest health. We'll start with some presentations, then move into the field and learn about these important Cook Forest residents. If the fireflies emerge, we'll walk up nearby Tom's Run Road a short distance into the darkness, and enjoy their synchronized show. These little fellows are so famous in the Smokies there's a lottery to see them! Remember to bring your flashlights & headlamps! Program begins at Shelter #2. Sponsored by the Cook Forest Conservancy. 25 participant limit, registration required by contacting the Park Office at (814)744-8407 or cookforestsp@pa.gov.
