Find the Fireflies
Speaking & Programs
Find the Fireflies is beginning to develop talks and educational programs for schools, libraries, homeschool groups, nature organizations, Christian schools, ministries, and community events.
In Development
Programs are currently being developed and may vary by audience, location, and available funding. Some may be supported through grants or sponsorships; others may require a program fee.
If you’re interested, please get in touch with your group size, age range, location, and what kind of program you have in mind.Programs can be shaped around the audience, setting, and amount of time available.
Topics may include firefly biology, observation, habitat, stewardship, conservation, field experiences, and the stories behind the lights.
Finding Fireflies
Learn when, where, and how to look for fireflies, what to notice once you find them, and why different species may be easier to miss than others.
Firefly Biology & Behavior

Habitat & Stewardship

Community & Educational Programs
Programs for public and educational settings
These programs are designed for libraries, schools, garden clubs, nature organizations, homeschool groups, community events, and other educational settings.
Presentations can focus on firefly biology, field observation, habitat, conservation, stewardship, and practical ways people can make more room for fireflies where they live.
The emphasis can be adjusted for children, families, adults, educators, or mixed audiences while keeping the program accessible, engaging, and grounded in real firefly observation.
Faith-Based Programs
Programs for churches and Christian communities
Faith-based programs are available for churches, Christian schools, homeschool groups, ministries, and other faith-centered settings.
These presentations can incorporate biblical themes of stewardship, creation, wonder, and being a light in the world while drawing on the same firefly education, field observation, and practical habitat guidance.
The emphasis can be adapted for children, families, youth groups, or adults, with Scripture and Christian teaching woven naturally into the program rather than added as an afterthought.
Bring the fireflies to your audience.
