Catawba Science Center Offers ‘Attractive’ Evening Field Trip

Bruce Beerbower, naturalist at Catawba Science Center in Hickory, will lead an evening field trip to Riverbend Park from 7:30 until 10 p.m. Tuesday, June 22.

See a rare sampling of moths and learn about native species as Catawba County park rangers use special attractants to lure nocturnal residents and other seldom seen park residents during Riverbend’s Moth Club meeting.

Last season, more than 70 different species of moths were discovered. What will this outing reveal?

Cost is $3 for CSC members and $6 for nonmembers, and covers transportation to Riverbend Park.

Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Call (828) 322-8169 to reserve space today.
