Dragonflies love hot summer days! Join us from 1:00 to 3:00 PM to learn what to look for, how to tell dragonflies from damselflies, how to recognize habitat preferences, and how to capture and identify using a field guide. We will walk around the various Arboretum ponds with different habitats and will capture, identify, and release these winged jewels. Children are welcome for this class, as they are the very best dragonfly catchers! Partial funding for this class provided through a grant from Stewart’s Shops Holiday Match Program.
Instructor: Anne Donnelly, dragonfly surveyor for the NYS Natural Heritage Program
Location: Meet at the Farmhouse
