Event details

Did you know September is an active time for some species of butterflies to migrate? Savor a morning coffee or tea and a doughnut while discovering which butterflies take flight during the fall. Find out which other species you can spot this time of year. Then head out on a guided hike to search for these fall flutterers. You'll also take home milkweed seeds and planting tips to help support migrating monarchs.
