Schramm After Dark: Moth Night

  • Schramm Education Center 21502 Nebraska 31 Gretna, NE, 68028 United States (map)

Nebraska Wildlife Education and Schramm Education Center presents “Schramm After Dark: Moth Night.”

In celebration of National Moth Week (July 19-27), educators from UNL Extension and Nebraska Game and Parks will lead a moth lighting bioblitz at Schramm Park State Recreation Area. Bring a flashlight, search for moths at the light trap, and learn about moths and other nocturnal insects in Nebraska. We will use the iNaturalist app to document the species we encounter and collect data about nocturnal insects in the park. Data collected during this event will contribute to the Biodiversity in Nebraska State Parks initiative.

**Collection of insects at this event is NOT permitted

This is a FREE program that will be held at the park shelter next to Pond A. We will meet in the parking lot of the Schramm Education Center at 8:30 p.m. and walk about five minutes along a paved, flat trail to the park shelter. If you have a state park vehicle permit, you can park next to the park shelter.

A state park vehicle permit is NOT required in the Schramm Education Center parking lot. Questions about the event can be directed to jennifer.ruyle@nebraska.gov.
