Join NCBP member Tracy Feldman at Durant Nature Preserve in Raleigh on a hunt for the Piedmont Blue Ghost Firefly.

Description: Piedmont blue ghost fireflies are spring fireflies. They are very elusive, so much so that they were only recently recognized as a new species in the Piedmont. We'll join the hunt as part of the City Nature Challenge 2024. Bring a flashlight and water bottle. Pre-registration is required.

Join NCBP member Tracy Feldman at Durant Nature Preserve in Raleigh to explore sounds in nature.

Pre-registration is required.

Join NCBP member Tracy Feldman at Durant Nature Preserve in Raleigh for a spring ephemeral walk.

Description: Wildflowers called spring ephemerals put on a stunning display in early spring, then they all but disappear from the woods for the rest of the year.

Join NCBP member Tracy Feldman at Durant Nature Preserve in Raleigh for a program on bryophyte ecology.

some mosses inside to look under the microscope for creatures that live inside the mosses. Bring a warm
coat! Children must be accompanied by adults. Pre-registration is required.
