The Albany Pine Bush Preserve has one of the most diverse and fascinating communities of moths anywhere in the Northeast, including many species that have adapted specifically to live in pine barrens. Celebrate National Moth Week by joining Albany Pine Bush Preserve staff and Dr. Timothy McCabe, NYS Entomologist to spend an evening attracting, observing, and identifying moths in the preserve. Participants should plan to do some light hiking. Please arrive for 8:00pm and stay for as long as you like.
