UPCOMING PROGRAMS AND EVENTS

Moth Night – REGISTRATION CLOSED

Location: Reedy Creek Nature Preserve

Join CWS and Lenny Lampel, Natural Resources Supervisor with Mecklenburg County (resident insect expert), for an exciting night of mothing. As the sun goes down, we will have lights and sheets set up to attract our native moths, and you’re certain to see some moths you’ve never seen before. Not only are moths great pollinators, but they are an important food source for our breeding birds!

Moth Night Out – REGISTRATION REQUIRED

Location: Tuckaseegee Arboretum (701 Tuckaseegee Rd)

Join NCWF Charlotte Wildlife Stewards chapter, the City of Charlotte, and NCWF staff at the Tuckaseegee Arboretum & Gardens for participation in National Moth Week. We will use UV blacklights and moth bait to attract, observe, and record the moths we encounter with iNaturalist. By using iNaturalist to document our findings, we are helping scientists learn about local moths! Not only are moths great pollinators, but they are also an important food source for breeding birds and other wildlife! You won’t want to miss out on this FAMILY-FRIENDLY NIGHT OF FUN!

Our programs and events are free and open to everyone.

Monthly educational programs run September through May and are offered in-person at Sardis Baptist Church and online. Occasionally we have a remote speaker in which case the program will be online only.
