Description: The Vanishing Light: Fireflies Are Disappearing — and We Can Reignite the Light Presentation by C.T. Finney PHOC's very own Finn's presentation will explore the hidden lives of fireflies — what they are, why they glow, and why their numbers are declining. Drawing on ecology, conservation science, and personal field experience, this presentation takes a deeper look at how habitat loss, light pollution, pesticide use, and climate change are impacting firefly populations right here at home. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker, a casual outdoor lover, or someone who remembers catching fireflies on summer nights, this presentation will leave you with a renewed sense of curiosity — and hope — for the natural world. Please join us for the March meeting and presentation.
