SUMMARY:The Nocturnal World of Moths (Ages 17 & under are free with paying adult)
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, August 22\, join the Friends of the Tanger Arboretum for a special nighttime Nature Series program called “The Nocturnal World of Moths!” Moths are incredibly diverse and beautiful insects\, well adapted to avoid predation and find love in the dark. Yet we hardly know them due to their nocturnal behavior. Join Lancaster Conservancy Naturalist Keith Williams for a presentation about the biology and ecology of these nocturnal beauties\, followed by a special moth lighting set up to see what moths we may attract in the Tanger Arboretum! \nWhat is a moth lighting? A moth lighting (also called ‘mothing’ or ‘light-sheeting’) is an activity where an artificial light source is used to attract moths and other nighttime insects to a white sheet\, allowing for individuals to look at the nocturnal specimens up close. We’ll attempt to attract moths on August 22 using this method. \nKeith Williams is a naturalist\, educator\, writer and photographer. He has a BS in Environmental Biology from Kutztown University and MS in Ecological Teaching and Learning from the Lesley University Audubon Expedition Institute. He has been taking people into backcountry settings for 30 years and has established outdoor education programs across the contiguous US\, China\, and in Puerto Rico. His first book\, Snorkelhead\, Adventures in River Snorkeling\, was published in 2016\, and his second river snorkeling book\, Snorkeling Rivers and Streams an Aquatic Guide to Underwater Discovery and Adventure\, was published by Stackpole Books in March 2020. Keith is the Vice President for Engagement and Education at the Lancaster Conservancy where he serves as the conservancies lead naturalist\, develops and manages volunteer and education programs\, and manages the interpretive ranger program.  He is a Nationally Registered Paramedic\, Wilderness Emergency Medical Technician\, Wilderness medicine instructor\, swift water rescue technician and wildlands firefighter. \nHOW TO REGISTER\nThe program\, “The Nocturnal World of Moths” will take place on Saturday\, August 22 from 8-10pm in the Carriage House at the LancasterHistory Museum & Research Center. The event is open to the public. Tickets are $10/Adults (18+) and Free for Children 17 and Under (must be accompanied by an adult). Friends of the Tanger Arboretum members receive complimentary admission\, but should still register for the program. Tickets may be purchased online or by calling 717.392.4633. Advance tickets recommended as walk-in tickets are not guaranteed.

SUMMARY:Butterfly Festival
DESCRIPTION:Witness hundreds of butterflies floating on the wind! Wander through manicured gardens\, visit local artisans\, and learn about an amazing pollinator and how we can help them. Join us for Colonial Gardens’ annual Butterfly Festival and experience all this and more! \nThis year\, we will be releasing hundreds of butterflies\, typically monarch butterflies. All guests are welcome to learn about these magnificent creatures\, their lives and their threats during our seminars\, patronize our local crafters\, and enjoy the gardens. Those folks who make a reservation will have the opportunity to release a butterfly during one of our mass releases. \nThere are four mass release opportunities. Each reservation entitles you to release one butterfly at the timeslot you select: 10AM\, 12PM\, 2PM\, or 4PM. If you do not wish to release a butterfly\, you may attend the event for free\, without a reservation or ticket. \nThe event also includes: \nLocal artisans\, vendors\, and nonprofits\nFour educational seminars about monarch butterflies\nLush\, beautiful gardens to wander\nNative and pollinator-friendly plants for purchase\nHayrides through our woods for $5/person\nBecause this event is outdoors\, we do have a rain date of Sunday\, August 24th. We will announce the change in date the morning of the event and alert all guests with reservations via email. For the safety of the butterflies\, we will only exercise this option if there is predicted steady rain throughout the event and the forecast is improved for Sunday. \nThis event is pet-friendly\, so long as dogs are leashed\, friendly\, and cleaned up after. In an effort to protect little lungs\, we ask that there is no smoking on grounds.
