CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – You’re invited to an “en-lightening” evening at Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) Cape Girardeau Conservation Nature Center’s free Firefly Frenzy program, from 7 – 9 p.m. on June 11!
“During warm summer nights, nature provides us with one of the most spectacular fireworks displays, and the creator of this lightshow is the tiny firefly,” said MDC Naturalist Angela Pierce.
Bring the whole family out for fun firefly activities, crafts, and presentations as we learn all about these amazing insects. Registration is not required.
If you are participating in Cape Nature Center’s “A Year in Color,” this program earns a red wildlife bead.
