Are you curious about the intricate world of local wildlife?

Join us in the north meadow of Hawk Cliff Woods the evening of June 19th to explore the fascinating world of moths. In partnership with St. Thomas Field Naturalist Club, and with the guidance of moth expert, Ecological Restoration Practitioner, and Climate Hero, Mary Gartshore, we will observe moths up close and dive into their importance and uniqueness in local habitats. Moth sheets and lights will be used to attract an array of moth species that reside amongst the newly restored meadow. All ages and levels of nature lovers are welcome!

Registration and ticket purchase are required for this event. Kids can register for free (please indicate as a +1). Ticket sales will be divided by TTLT and St. Thomas Field Naturalist Club to directly fund future outdoor experiences and inspire local connections to nature. 

PLEASE BRING:

• A flashlight or headlamp for navigation and safety purposes, as the event will span past sunset.
• A camping or fold-up chair

NOTE:

• Please do not bring butterfly nets. All insects will be safely handled and attracted with specialized equipment.
• Accessibility: Please be aware that there will be some uneven terrain. 
• Parking: Parking is available in the designated area behind the shed at the end of the laneway. Attendants will be on site to assist. Please carpool if possible.
• It is possible that you may encounter ticks at this nature reserve. Make sure to check for ticks before leaving the event and again once you arrive home. More information on ticks can be found here.

*This is the first part of a two-day event. Join us at the Moth Discovery Morning on June 20th to identify and observe moths that have been safely collected overnight. Tickets must be purchased separately for each event.*
