In what will be the latest start for any full moon walk this year, at 9 Friday night you can take a leisurely hike courtesy of the South Fork Natural History Museum and the Friends of the Long Pond Greenbelt behind the museum. Eyes will be on the strawberry moon, the trails will be freshly mown, and the insects will be singing. Registration is by emailing [email protected]

On Saturday at 10 a.m., the museum will have a Dragonfly Day at the Mashomack Preserve on Shelter Island. 

Kevin Munroe, a dragonfly expert, will lead an exploration of Bass Creek and Sanctuary Pond, and participants will use nets to get close views of these beautiful insects. Free registration is required at sofo.org.
