I have Two Dragonfly Day Events Coming Up in August - Join Us!

Public Program

Saturday, August 6, 11-12:30pm

Mashomack Preserve

Catching Dragonflies!

Have you ever caught a dragonfly? It's harder then it looks! Come to Sanctuary Pond at Mashomack and meet Annette Oliveira, a dragonfly expert, who will teach us about these beautiful, mosquito-eating, sparklingly colored flying marvals! We'll see if we can find species with such enthralling names as Saddlebags, Amberwings, Pondhawks and Dragonlets. Nets will be provided. Raindate: Sunday, August 7, 11-12:30pm.

Programs at Mashomack require pre-registration. Programs are free to members of the The Nature Conservancy, $5 for non-members, unless otherwise noted. Participation is limited to 20 children. Call the Mashomack office at 631-749-1001 for further information or e-mail us at mashomackpreserve@tnc.org.

Please be sure to join us for our 5th Annual Family Dragonfly Day at Skipper Horton Park (just east of St. Peter's Lutheran Church) in Greenport. As always, Annette Oliveira will be on hand to help you identify the local "odonates" (dragonflies and damselflies) that breed and feed at the ponds here. You'll have a unique opportunity to closely observe these beautiful insects and will leave with your own personal Dragonfly and Damselfly checklist of the species you see that day. A wonderful way to spend the afternoon for adults and children of all ages. Crafts, story-telling, refreshments. $5 per person; $20 for families of 4 or more includes a one year membership to the NFAS.
