Gloucester County's Moth Night A Virtual Experience This Year

GLOUCESTER COUNTY, NJ — Gloucester County’s second annual Moth Night will take place virtually this weekend due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Moth Night will be held on the Scotland Run Park Facebook page this Sunday, county officials announced.

Dr. Daniel Duran will share photos and videos on the Facebook page so families can run their own event on their own time. Photos will begin to be posted at 3 p.m. Residents are encouraged to share their pictures by tagging Scotland Run Park on Facebook.

“This is an amazing way to learn and discover the insects that call Gloucester County home,” Gloucester County Freeholder Director Robert M. Damminger said. “The photos and videos will allow you to be your own environmentalist and share your knowledge with your family.”

“We are looking forward to sharing this event virtually so all of our nature lovers can experience Moth Night,” Gloucester County Freeholder Jim Lavender, liaison to Parks and Recreation, said. “Make sure you’re sharing your pictures and findings with us on Facebook.”
