Our newest group of trained firefly naturalists and guides! We are happy to endorse these local and distant naturalists for guiding safe, sustainable and firefly friendly eco-tours here and across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We had an excellent day of learning, sharing, exploring and discovering everything we could about the fireflies in Kellettville. We look forward to how they apply their new expertise as they guide at the PA Firefly Festival Tours this coming weekend and in their own unique settings.
