SUMMARY:LLCT's 2022 Annual Meeting: Why do Fireflies Flash?
DESCRIPTION:Join Lincoln Land Conservation Trust for our Annual Meeting! Al
 l are welcome to celebrate another year of conservation in Lincoln. \n\nT
 he evening will start promptly at 7:00 P.M. with a short business meeting.
  LLCT members in attendance are invited to vote in the new slate of Truste
 es. Immediately following the business meeting\, Avalon Owens\, our keynot
 e speaker\, will give her remarks.\nThis will be a virtual meeting. Regist
 ration is required to receive the Zoom Meeting link.  Please register her
 e. \nIf you have any difficulty registering\, please email llct@lincolncon
 servation.org and we would be happy to register you manually. Once registe
 red you will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom Meeting link. If y
 ou don't receive that email\, let us know so we can help!\n\nWhy do firefl
 ies flash? How to be a firefly steward\, neighbor\, and friend\, and keep 
 their lights turned on\n\nBecause they want to be seen! But their unique b
 ioluminescent signals can be obscured by street lamps\, house lights\, and
  other sources of nighttime light pollution — and if we’re not careful
 \, our lights might extinguish theirs forever. Dr. Avalon C.S. Owens will 
 share her recent research on this understudied aspect of firefly conservat
 ion\, much of which has taken place at sites around Lincoln\, and suggest 
 some simple solutions that can help us coexist with fireflies\, moths\, an
 d our other nocturnal neighbors on an increasingly urbanized planet.\n\nAv
 alon C.S. Owens received her Ph.D. from the Department of Biology at Tufts
  University in spring 2022\, where she studied the impact of light polluti
 on on North American fireflies. She earned her Masters degree in Entomolog
 y from National Taiwan University\, and hosts a bilingual educational YouT
 ube channel called INSECT[昆蟲島]ISLAND. This fall she will be running 
 a light pollution research group at the Rowland Institute of Science at Ha
 rvard University.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp\;\n
