It’s National Moth Week! National Moth Week celebrates the beauty, life cycles, and habitats of moths. Come join Jeff Lougee from The Nature Conservancy to look for and learn about some of the more unique moths found in New Hampshire. We’ll be setting up black lights at the Conservancy’s Ossipee Pine Barrens Preserve to attract moths that we can observe, and we’ll also record what we find. The Ossipee Pine Barrens is home to nearly two dozen rare and endangered moth species, many of which are restricted to the habitat found in the pine barrens.
