Dragonfly and Damselfly Workshop

Dragonflies and damselflies are among the most ancient and accomplished aerial predators on Earth. Inhabiting wetlands, streams, ponds, and marshes, these insects play an important role in freshwater ecosystems and serve as valuable indicators of environmental health.

In our new Dragonfly and Damselfly Workshop, Naturalist Tait Johansson will introduce participants to the diversity, identification, ecology, and life history of the dragonflies and damselflies found in our region. This two-part workshop begins with an indoor session at Bylane Farm, where Tait will cover the key characteristics, behaviors, habitats, and evolutionary history of these remarkable insects. Participants will then head into the field with Tait to put their new knowledge into practice, honing their identification skills while exploring the wetland habitats these fascinating insects depend on.

Saturday, August 8, 10:00am-1:00pm. Cost: $25 members, $40 non-members. Level of Difficulty: Easy. To register, email: info@bedfordaudubon.org
