We’ll use special lights to attract moths and other nocturnal insects\, meet some of the wild neighbors working the night shift\, and enjoy a relaxed outdoor atmosphere with a naturalist twist. \nBring your curiosity and your beverage of choice—this one is *BYOB*. We can provide seating\, although you’re also welcome to bring your favorite lawn chair. \nImportant heads-up from the civilized world: There are **no public restrooms available at the event site**\, so please plan accordingly before joining us. Nature will be answering plenty of calls that evening; unfortunately\, yours cannot be one of them. \nVolunteers are warmly welcomed and encouraged to arrive early to help us set up the moth lights\, seating\, and activity area. If you are interested in volunteering\, please fill out the contact form below. \nCome for the beats. Stay for whoever shows up beneath the moth light.\n\n\n← Back Thank you for your response. ✨\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nName(required)\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nEmail(required)\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nWebsite\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nMessage\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n Submit \n \n \n \n\n\n  URL:https://rootedfuturescollective.org/event/night-shift-beats-beneath-the-moth-light/ LOCATION:Future Ancestors Learning Center\, 12450 Elam Rd\, BALCH SPRINGS\, TX\, 75180\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://rootedfuturescollective.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/8140e289-be01-4a40-a04d-0213d3bd62ff.png ORGANIZER;CN="Jess Reaka":MAILTO:jess@rootedfuturescollective.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260826T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260826T203000 DTSTAMP:20260724T233938Z CREATED:20260724T233938Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260724T233938Z UID:1216-1787770800-1787776200@rootedfuturescollective.org SUMMARY:Native Landscaping 101: Building a Yard That Belongs Here DESCRIPTION:Your yard doesn’t have to fight the place where it lives.
