12th ANNUAL MAGICAL BUTTERFLY CAMP
SATURDAY, JULY 24, 2021 - 9:30 am - at EASTWOOD PRESERVE - RAIN OR SHINE!
Please consider joining Miss Ellen and others in helping to raise Monarchs and help propagate our pollinators.
Adopting Caterpillars as a Family
Join Miss Ellen as we explore the wonderful world of butterflies. We'll visit Eastwood Preserve and look for different butterflies, caterpillars, and their favorite flowers. Each child will have his or her own caterpillar to feed, grow, and turn into a butterfly. Materials include: Caterpillars and some milkweed. Bring your own approved butterfly cage or rent one of ours.
Butterfly Garden at Eastwood Preserve
Each family will receive three caterpillars to watch transform into beautiful butterflies. Eastwood Preserve has established a butterfly garden which contains the necessary milkweed plants. This will help guarantee the return of the Monarch Butterfly to the Eastwood Preserve and strengthen the population of the species. Bring your own butterfly cage or rent one of ours.
Cost is $15.00 per family.
Cage Rental is additional $20 (refundable when returning cage upon release of butterflies)
Program Progress
Throughout the "Butterfly" season, Mrs. Ellen and many other people, have released approximately 80 butterflies at the Eastwood Preserve. We hope that this is a great start to bringing back Monarchs to the Eastwood Preserve and to the local area.
