Native grassroots expert, Delores Goslin, will present a Monarch Butterfly Program.

She will explain what she’s learned on her journey into the world of the monarch butterfly, the importance of planting milkweed, the dangers of pesticides and much more. Visitors will learn what actions they can take as a community to help. Goslin will bring monarch butterflies and the caterpillars in various stages to demonstrate.

The Butterfly Release will follow Goslin’s talk. Native species will be available for participants to release. There will also be an exhibit on gardening for pollinators focusing on the plants butterflies and bees need with give-away seeds and plants.
