Thank you to the over 1800 applications that were submitted to this year's PA Firefly Campout Lottery. The PAFF Campout registrations have concluded, and all the sites for the 3 days have been claimed. You may want to check your email periodically up until the week before the events in case of cancellations.

We know that there are many who will be disappointed and left wanting for a firefly viewing experience this summer. We wish everyone could participate, but the change of location, the limited audience and restricted nights are all in effort to protect the sensitive habitats and the delicate fireflies from the adverse impacts of too many people.
The good news is that Kellettville is not the only place in Pennsylvania with fireflies. Please be sure to check your nearest State Parks for firefly programs. Many programs are even free. We hope you will see some fireflies this summer and encourage you to enter again next year.
PAFF is a non-profit organization. Your contributions help support the quarterly newsletter, educational programs in schools, firefly interns and further the research in Pennsylvania and throughout North America. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation.

The IUCN estimates that 14% of firefly species are either threatened or endangered of extinction. This is mostly due to the loss of habitat for one reason or another. Learn how to create your own firefly-friendly yard with some simple solutions and help firefly conservation.
