Robinson Park is now a Certified Firefly Habitat!

The Friends of Robinson Park are proud to announce our official designation as a Certified Firefly Habitat.  In collaboration with Firefly Conservation & Research, a nonprofit organization dedicated to public education and protection of fireflies, Robinson Park now meets all of the criteria necessary to create a sustainable home for our beloved “lightning bugs.”
