Nature Discovery Butterfly Walk

Ever wonder which butterflies are fluttering through your garden? This program invites families to develop real skills in identifying different butterfly species and learning what drives their behavior. After an introductory presentation, you and your children will head out into the garden and prairie areas to spot as many butterflies as you can. It's a hands-on way to connect with nature while building observation skills that actually matter. What makes this outing special is that you'll learn how to contribute your findings to eButterfly, a collaborative science project where citizen observers help track butterfly populations across the region. The program welcomes children ages five and up, making it accessible for most families. Registration is required to participate, so be sure to sign up ahead of time.
