Bug Hunt Events and Training

We need your eyes, hands, and boots on the ground! No prior experience is necessary, but PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Children eight and older are welcome when accompanied by a PARTICIPATING adult; groups limited to four people.

We really value your participation. If you do sign up, your team will be counting on you to be there.  Please only sign up if you plan to be there. If something comes up after you register, please let us know so we can re-assign people to your team.
