I1332 Browsville Road
 Nassawadox, VA 23413 | 8:00 pm - 10:30 pm

Join us for an educational magical summer night on the Eastern Shore! Ever heard of mothing? It’s the simple, family‑friendly practice of observing moths as they’re drawn to light after dark — and it’s one of the easiest ways to discover the incredible diversity of nighttime pollinators right in our own backyards. Moths aren’t just pretty wings in the night sky; they play a huge role in supporting farms, gardens, and native plants.

Bring the family, settle in under the stars, and watch the night come alive.

What to bring: a chair or blanket, insect spray, and your curiosity.

Free & open to all ages — no registration needed.
