Night Lighting at WHBS

Picture
July 11th
7:30-10:30pm
​Macomb, IL

Join IDNR field representative Angella Moorehouse for a few hours collecting insects at Wigwam Hollow Bird Sanctuary! Night Lighting is exactly what is sounds like: using light at night to attract insects so that we can identify the species that are on the sanctuary. You do not have to stay for the entire three hours, you are more than welcome to participate in the first collection and then return home to sleep!
