Celebrate National Moth Week with ADK!

Join an ADK Naturalist for an educational evening moth program to celebrate National Moth Week at ADK's Education Yurt Village. We will begin with a presentation on the differences between moths and butterflies, the ecological importance of moths, and other fun facts. Then we will observe some of our local moths by using a light "trap" to humanely attract active moths and other insects. We will also have a small, preserved local moth collection for reference and a closer look. Participants are encouraged to add their photographic observations digitally to iNaturalist to engage in community science and add to local data on moths.

This program is suitable for all ages, but children must be supervised. In the event of rain, this program will be postponed to the following evening, June 27th.

Directions to our meeting point, including a campground map, can be found here. Parking is included with this program and is available next to the yurts. Overflow parking is available at the Adirondak Loj.

The Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK) welcomes people of all backgrounds and is committed to fostering a safe space for everyone to learn.

Note: Registration, while not mandatory, is highly encouraged to enable the instructor to best prepare.
