SUMMARY:Biodiversity Walk with Fireflies
DESCRIPTION:Join Biologist Edward M. Barrows and Congressional Cemetery Staff for a unique biodiversity walk through the cemetery!\nWith firefly flight being predicted to be in the beginning of June\, Historic Congressional Cemetery is an ideal place to see them amongst the trees and gravestones. Guided by Dr. Barrows\, we will be searching for\, spotting\, and identifying native species of fireflies as well as other insects of all sorts that call HCC home. \nFor those interested\, we will have a brief tutorial on the phone app ‘iNaturalist’\, and how it can be used to identify and document different species of animals (including insects)\, fungi\, and plants as well as documenting their sightings for the greater community. \nThis walk will take place June 6th starting at 7:00 PM\, with a rain date of June 14th!  \nCome prepared with clothing and shoes appropriate for an outdoor walk. Be warned that the ground off of paths is uneven\, and conditions will be dark\, please bring a flashlight if you have one. We will meet at the front gate of the Cemetery at 1801 E St SE.  \nFireflies are creatures of their own! We cannot guarantee firefly populations on June 6th.  \nRSVP HERE — LIMITED SPOTS (20)\nAbout Our Guide: Dr. Edward M. Barrows\n \nEdward M. Barrows (Edd) [Pictured right\, photoshopped into a 1950’s Jaguar with founder of the American Red Cross\, Clara Barton.] was born in the Motor City.
