Butterflies often steal the show with their bright colors, but did you know moths are even more diverse and play a critical role in our ecosystems? These mostly nocturnal creatures are essential pollinators and are deeply connected to native plants, birds, bats, and the entire forest community. Join us for an enchanting evening program that will take you on a pictorial journey into the fascinating world of moths—creatures that are often overlooked yet vital to biodiversity. Learn how you can support these important insects through “moth-gardening” in your own yard, helping to strengthen the ecosystem around you. Inspired by the book Gardening for Moths by Jim McCormac and Chelsea Gottfried, this program will conclude with a guided moth walk—your chance to observe these remarkable creatures up close.

Register by August 27. Registration is through the Ohio State University Extension’s website.
