About the event
CANCELED due to river conditions unfavorable for dragonflies. We're sorry for any inconvenience. / Dragonflies are incredibly important to our local ecosystem. Did you know that dragonflies begin their life in water before emerging and shedding an exoskeleton? Ultimately, wings emerge and they take flight. Dragonflies hunt mosquitos in both their aquatic stage and their terrestrial stage with an extremely high success rate – even more reason to make sure we provide them an opportunity to thrive! At Mouth of Jordan, we have habitat that is conducive to harboring an array of native dragonflies. If you want to learn a little more about the majestic creatures, please join us for a hike led by Master Naturalist Doug Mills. Sign up by emailing ericmollahan@landconservationfoundation.org.
