Join CLCC and the Xerces Society for an engaging lunchtime webinar exploring the fascinating world of fireflies and how land trusts can play a role in their conservation. Fireflies are more than just a magical summer sight—they are essential indicators of ecosystem health, yet many species are facing challenges from habitat loss, light pollution, and other threats.

Candace Fallon, Senior Conservation Biologist with the Xerces Society, will introduce firefly ecology, conservation concerns, and the growing movement to establish firefly sanctuaries. Learn how land trusts and conservation organizations can identify and protect important firefly habitats, implement firefly-friendly management practices, and engage communities in the stewardship of these beloved beetles. Whether you’re looking for ways to enhance biodiversity on your protected lands or simply want to learn more about fireflies, this webinar will provide valuable insights and practical steps to get involved.
