The Vanishing Light: Why Fireflies are Disappearing and How to Help

This presentation explores the quiet disappearance of fireflies from our summer nights and why it matters—for our ecosystems, our sense of wonder, and future generations. We’ll uncover the scientific causes of their decline and discover simple but powerful actions we can take in our homes, yards, and communities to help restore their glow.

Together, we’ll learn how protecting fireflies is about more than saving insects—it’s about rekindling the nostalgic magic of our childhood nights and honoring our place in the web of life.
