Our eagerly awaited firefly programs are back! Join us for an evening in the heritage orchard and along the Anza Trail to witness the rare and beautiful display of Southwest Synchronous Fireflies (Photinus knulli). Attendees may be seated in the orchard and optionally walk approximately 1.5 miles on the trail during the program. Remember, fireflies are wildlife, and their behavior patterns vary from season to season and night to night.
Additional information will be provided at registration and by email shortly before the day of the program.
Important Notes and Etiquette:
- Expect uneven ground and dark conditions
- Bring a lawn or camping chair if you’d like to sit
- Use only red-filtered flashlights beyond the parking lot - we have some to lend

- Insect repellent recommended, but should be applied before arriving or in parking lot only

This is a special chance to witness a short-lived natural spectacle found in few places. Space is limited, so register early to ensure your spot.
