Member Exclusive: Fireflies and S'mores
2026-07-11 20:00 - 22:00 (America/New_York) | Duke Farms, 1112 Dukes Parkway West, Hillsborough Township, NJ, 08844, United States
Gather ’round the fire to learn all about this quintessential summer bug.

As dusk settles over the landscape, we’ll take a short walk to explore the remarkable life cycle and ecological role of fireflies. These small but mighty insects are indicators of habitat health—and they tell us an important story about restoration. Afterward, gather by the fire to enjoy s’mores and conversation under the evening sky.

Member Exclusive: Summer Grassland Birding
2026-06-06 07:00 - 09:00 | Duke Farms, 1112 Dukes Parkway West, Hillsborough Township, NJ, 08844, United States
Join us for an early-morning adventure into Duke Farms’ highest quality habitat.

Step into one of our conservation grasslands at the height of summer and discover a habitat alive with sound and movement. This guided birding experience focuses on grassland specialists such as bobolinks and meadowlarks—species whose presence reflects the health of restored meadow ecosystems.
Along the way, you’ll learn how Duke Farms manages these landscapes to support breeding birds and biodiversity, and why grassland restoration plays a vital role in regional conservation. It’s an opportunity not just to observe wildlife, but to understand the systems that help it thrive.
