Join us for an evening of wonder as we explore the fascinating world of moths! Using light and sheet setups, we’ll attract and observe these nocturnal pollinators up close. This family-friendly event is a unique opportunity to connect with nature after dark, learn about moth diversity, participate in moth centered activities and experience the magic of nighttime at Willow-Witt Ranch! Bring a flashlight, your curiosity, and a sense of adventure! Crest Village tents are available to rent for the evening, make it a full night under the stars!

Join us and Pollinator Project Rogue Valley for a day of artistry at Willow-Witt Ranch, with our special guest Zebith Thalden, the author of The Insect Artist! 

With art materials in hand, we will immerse ourselves in the spray of blossoms in the meadow to honor the diversity of species that these colorful botanicals depend on. We will learn about the scientific connection of this unique ecosystem, located in the Southern Cascades, with Amanda Huffman, a professional wildlife biologist with a passion for native bees. There will be plenty of time under the tent’s shade to learn creative techniques for developing bold realistic sketches in dynamic compositions with subjects that are busy buzzing from flower to flower!
