National Moth Week

National Moth Week

National Moth Week began as an event in 2012 and it was created by the Friends of the East Brunswick (NJ) Environmental Commission. It�??s an organization that focuses on helping with environmental education for children and adults, as well as promoting conservation.

The aim was to promote not only an appreciation of moths, but also the citizen science project that�??s sprung up around it. This has gone on to become one of the biggest and most successful citizen science projects in the world. And that�??s because it�??s so easy for people of all ages to get involved.

The success of the project up to now is inspiring and the organizers believe even more people can and will get involved as National Moth Week continues to grow year on year since its inception.
